Something I am continually learning more about is the blessings that come through membership in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. When one joins a branch church, it is so much more than simply signing a membership book and agreeing to support the church financially and prayerfully.
Many years ago , when I got my first teaching job, I joined the nearest Christian Science church. Immediately, I was assigned to the nursery, where babies and children too young for Sunday School are cared for.
