THE CREE


The Cree are the First Nation of Canada.  They are special people that have characteristics and values that are often different from those of our own Midwestern ways.   They value relationships over tasks as we tend to be task oriented.   They don’t let the clock control them…time doesn’t mean the same to them as it does to us.  They are a culture that shares everything and they are not materialistic, much of their property is communal.  They would much prefer story telling over reading, or being read to.  These are some of the differences we recognize but more important is what we have in common….that we are all children of God and He loves us and gave his Son to die for our sins so that we could have eternal life.  THIS is the message that we are going to Southend to share.  May God Bless the Cree and open their hearts to receive his Word!   


              
These are some of our friends from our 2011 VBS....look at the joy on their faces!
