Sunnyside Celebrates High Sabbath

By Cherelyn Strickland, September 11, 2014

July 26 was a high Sabbath for the Sunnyside (Wash.) Church family as two new members were added. Alicia Angelique Martinez and Jocelynne "Josie" Martinez are active Pathfinders. Larry Mays, Sunnyside Church pastor, had been studying with them to prepare them for the special day. When a Pathfinder is baptized, the district director comes for the event and a special dress pin is added to his or her uniform. June Cross pinned the new members and told them their decision is a lasting decision for all eternity.
