The Last Day!

This morning a number of children from the VBS, as well as several new adults (parents) came out to the church service. It was such an encouragement to see so many people filling the seats for the morning service. After the preliminaries, the rest of the time was taken up while the children sang, and I presented what we had learned during the week. Through the pages of the wordless book, I was able to present a clear gospel message.

After a quick lunch at home, we finished packing the car. The afternoon service had been moved to 2pm to allow us to leave for home in good time. I preached about "7 Things God Cannot Do", after which the Pastor gave a "nutshell" of the sermon in Cree using my notes. It was amazing to hear (but not understand) my sermon in another language!

At the end of the service, the church people presented us with thank-you gifts. In addition to two CDs, we also received three pairs of hand made moose hide slippers. After tearful goodbyes, we finally left the Christians, church, and community we had so quickly grown to love!


Upon reaching the intersection of the James Bay Road, we turned north for about 20 minutes. Soon, we reached where the road crosses the Rupert River. Here, there is a set of impressive rapids, which we paused to photograph before turning back south to continue the long journey to Cochrane.
