Mother's Love
There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Kids Community and Christ (KCC)
May 16, 2015
Local churches in the community come
together at the Angier Depot in a funfilled day for the community.
Volunteers are needed—sign-up sheet is
on the bulletin board in the downstairs
hallway.
May 17th, the Youth are going to begin “Flocking
Flamingos.” If you do not want to wake up and
find 60 pink flamingos in your yard, you can
prevent that from happening by purchasing “Pink
Cross, Pink Shield” Insurance for $50! This will
insure the birds do not find their way to your
property. Allison is collecting the money!
If you want to take a chance and the birds show
up in your yard, you must make a donation to get
them removed. Also, you may choose the next
person to have the pleasure of the birds in their
yard.
