 Psalm 100:3-5 (The Message)

 ³ Know this: God is God, and God, God.
      He made us; we didn't make him.
      We're his people, his well-tended sheep.

Adoption Month

                                      It was a family affair with Evonne reading a poem she wrote.

                                                                               



                                           The girls put  programs together

                                           Mandy did a Power Point and Alex set it up.

                                        The band from Stephanie's school came to help with music.

And Stephanie and five beautiful little girls, who will never again, have to worry about where they belong, sang:

ALL I REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!
