Do you have a piano to accompany you? If NOT, the Rubank 78 Clarinet Duet
books (Volumes I or II) might provide some easy pickin's for your grade
level. IIRC, there are some transcriptions in there of some sections of work
by "real" composers. As I recall, the books are not "graded" very well, i.e.
the duets are not progressively more difficult, but the easier and harder
ones are mixed up pretty well. I'd recommend buying both books and start
reading - they'll be great practice for you two in any case, and well worth
the money.

If SO, you might consider one of the easier sections of one of the
Mendelsohn trios (is there more than one? I'm doing this from memory), as
scored for two clarinets and piano. Very tuneful and appropriate for church.
Probably for strings, originally, but Mendelsohn himself transcribed it for
a variety of different instruments (the purists can now shoot me).

Either book should be available for order at a local music store or online.
Any local music store *should* have the Rubank books, at least, in stock.
