Angela Sutton’s testimony at the Celebration Gathering reminded us of the ultimate act of servanthood: putting the needs of others first.

Over 30 years ago, she lovingly made an adoption plan for her child through CFS, choosing to provide a future filled with love and opportunity. Her story of faith, courage, and selflessness reflects the heart of Christlike service.

Thank you, Angela, for inspiring us to serve others with love and humility.
