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!
