Black History Month 2022 – Letter to My Younger Self – DCC Ashlee
Dear Ashlee, Who knew that your natural tendency to lead the group out for dance battles at recess, talent shows, and all things entertainment would be the first chapter?

Three year old Ashlee loved to be with the big kids, praise dancing down the Baptist church aisles, with so much conviction. Who knew that the same three year old would make the choice to confess Christ and be baptized? You
