Chinese Agape Foundation

White Bluff Church of Christ is sponsoring

this lovely little girl in China this year: Name: Liang Mei Xiu

Birth Date: March 3, 2003

She has been leading a very happy life and so appreciates our

sponsorship on her behalf! She really enjoyed a barbecue party the

middle of December and celebrated the coming holidays. That day,

she ate a lot of delicious foods and said she has a big appetite. She

was enjoying her food and talking to her friends. She really had a

good time that day. In addition to the barbecue party, we also

organized a show and she performed a dance with her friends. In

order to prepare for the show, she spent a month learning and

practicing. Their performance received much love that day and she

was successful in gaining a prize. In addition, she also received a

special holiday card.

She had three holidays to celebrate the New Year. She returned home

and spent time with her family because she hadn’t been home for

months. She was very happy to go home and celebrate. She hopes

everything will go well during the New Year. The winter here is very

cold and she got a cough a little while ago. Although she is well now,

we still advised her to exercise more and take care of herself.

Taken From the Chinese Agape Foundation Our congregation is happy to report that we have received $730 in 2015

donations for sponsoring Liang Mei Xiu and a second orphan as of

April 12. Thank you for praying for them and for your generosity

toward their needs.

The happiest heart that ever beat

was in some quiet breast that

found the common daylight sweet,

and left to heaven the rest. Cheyney

The Ladies Tea event last

Saturday was a wonderful

time had by all! Thank You

So Much to all the ladies who

organized and worked so

hard to make it beautiful and

the food was simply delicious!

This fellowship together filled

our hearts with joy and

smiles/laughter filled the day.

Remember Grandma? Grandma used to get up on Sunday morning, cook a

big breakfast for her large family, milk three or four

cows, churn, clean house, kill and dress the chickens

for dinner, dress the children, then, go with the

family in a buggy or wagon five miles to the worship

and get there early. Today, breakfast comes in a

cereal box, the milk man brings the milk and butter,

the grocery boy brings the chicken (prepared for

cooking), and the distance to the church building is

measured in blocks, not miles, covered in a modern

automobile. Yet, some just can’t make it in time for

Bible Study.
