Saturday, July 11th was an unforgettable celebration of faith, unity, and the powerful impact of women in ministry and the community at the 13th Annual Bayside Gospel Concert Aboard the Midway. With an incredible turnout, attendees from all over the city, state & out of state gathered for an evening filled with heartfelt worship, inspiration, and encouragement.
The event featured an outstanding all-women lineup, including Alexis Spight, La’Kea Stokes, Carolyn Traylor, Sonya Griffin, Diamond Brandon, and Amari Michelle. Each woman brought a unique gift and anointed presence, creating an atmosphere that inspired worship and left the presence of The Holy Spirit on everyone in attendance.
A focal point of the evening was the recognition of our Women of Impact, honoring Diamond Brandon, Kea Hagan, Chida Warren, Rhonda Hunt Phillips, Sabrina Bishop, Shelia Burrell, Zykina Stewart, and Francine Maxwell. These remarkable women were celebrated for their leadership, service, and unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of our community.
From the opening moments to the final song, the atmosphere was filled with joy, gratitude, and the presence of God. The overwhelming support from the community made this event a tremendous success. Everyone who attended and participated helped make this Night of Worship a memorable experience. It was truly a night to remember and a testament to the power of women walking boldly in their purpose.
