There was a special service at Evergreen Baptist Church Sunday, Aug. 4. The children that attended summer camp were in service and spoke about their experience. There were 25 of them. Several of them dedicated their lives to the Lord and four made first time decisions to serve the Lord. Three of them are brothers – Josh, Jacob and Jace Sutphen. They have been Christians for a while and were baptized. May God bless them all.
