They have their own lesson, and they participate in the worship service via live streaming. If you know of someone who would benefit from this ministry or if you would like to know more about this ministry, please contact Dwight Moss, Education Pastor at [email protected] or call 256-353-8579. VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: We are so thankful to have Dawna Fulmer and Dexter Gay giving leadership to our Shepherd’s Class. Dawna, her husband, Gary, and son, Brandon, have been a part of DBC since 1988. Many people have been touched, ministered to, and loved on through Dawna’s leadership. Dexter and his wife, Brenda, have been members since 1983. Their granddaughter, Kyleigh, is faithful to help Dexter set up and pick up class members in one of our vans each week. We are truly blessed to be able to be a part of this type of ministry.
