Salem Central Celebrates Special Sabbath

By Charlene Bennett, January 21, 2016

Sept. 26, 2015, was a very special Sabbath at Salem Central Church in Oregon as 13 people were baptized. Each of them gave a testimony before his or her baptism. Members were all blessed and pray that the Lord will continue to lead each of them as they step out in faith.
