Havre Celebrates Baptism

By Leo Beardsley, November 16, 2016

It was party time again in Havre and heaven on Sept. 3, 2016, when Sara Damson made public her commitment to Jesus.

Damson had been invited to attend church and church functions by her friend, Sheila Forshee. Damson eventually requested Bible studies from Norman Johnson, the pastor, and his wife, Dawn.

After studying for some time, Damson requested baptism. She shared with the congregation recent answers to prayer that further convinced her God has a plan for her and is personally interested in her life and future. The Havre Church is thrilled to add a new member to their family.
