Dennis' Short Talks for Church

My husband Dennis was asked some years ago to serve as an elder at our small church. One of his duties was to present a short talk every few months. He's never liked public speaking much, but after awhile, we began to enjoy discussing topics that might be interesting. The list below includes talks he presented as well as ones he didn't get to before the end of his term. Often we would do what some friends called a "one-two punch" where I'd sing a song related to the talk he gave. Where appropriate, I'll include information about the songs we chose.
