Arbor Day Tree Planting

I would just like to thank Mrs. Elverta Weatherford, for working so hard in bring the tree planting together on April 24, 2009 for Arbor Day. Mrs. Weatherford has been a long time member of the Gertrude Hawkins WMS for many years. In fact Mrs. Weatherford Mother was the founder of The Women' Missionary Society at Lewis Chapel AME Church . Mrs. Weatherford is a very active 91 year old member and we Love her very much.


I think that I shell never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
UponWhose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately liver with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make tree.- Joyce Kilmer

The tree we planted
is a
