Faith

On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, she literally took the plunge in the community pool at her mother's housing community, and made a public confession of her faith in Jesus Christ. Pastor Chris from Bayside Community Church had the privilege of baptizing her. Amy was glowing with joy when she came up from the water! It was a beautiful celebration witnessed by a small gathering of family and friends.
