Tribute to our "Sweet Amy"

Today will be a hard day for KP. We say so long for a while to our "sweet" Amy Brumfield. Who doesn't think of Amy without that warm, kind smile and the sweet spirit that we have come to know as Amy.

Amy grew up at Kings Point beginning as a teenager. She was one of our KP girls. Her, Michelle, and April(and others too many to name) hung out together, played together, worshipped together, ministered together, and no doubt made it a little trouble together. As someone shared with me last night, they were always together...until another youth group member, Jeff Brumfield, entered the picture. Amy and Jeff started dating and were married on April 29, 1995 at 6.30 pm. Amy and Jeff, though young, were in love and ready to begin a life together.

Jeff and Amy continued to stay active in the church through their twenties and into their thirties. They both sang in the choir, sang vocal solos, sang in cantatas, and special choir events. I said Sunday that of all the great soloists at KP in my thirteen years...none sang under a greater anointing than Amy. Amy was gifted with a meek spirit and a powerful voice that often would stir up a visitation of the Spirit of God that touched the entire church body. It was a beautiful sight!

Amy taught children's classes in Sunday School and completed several of our discipleship and leadership courses at KP. Amy was an excellent Sunday School teacher who was very dedicated to her class. Students loved Amy. I would often hear different ones talk about how much they liked her as a teacher. After graduating from School of Discovery a few years ago, Amy's vision was to begin a women's cell in her neighborhood in Franklin that would reach unsaved women. She discussed this with me quite often and did not give up on her vision even through her health battles.

As most of us know, Jeff and Amy never had children. It was both of their hearts desire but for some reason it never happened. Jeff told me yesterday, that a brother in the church called him recently and shared that God must have needed a sweet, beautiful woman in heaven to help hold and care for all of the motherless babies up there. That may be the case. Nonetheless, today it will be hard to let her go. Yes, we know her sweet spirit ascended Friday evening to be with the Lord. But the beautiful spirit and person that was Kings Point's "Sweet Amy" will be missed greatly.

See you soon Amy!
