VBS: It's All Over...Almost!
After having mentioned about its existence yesterday, Jimmy agreed to meet us at the museum in town at 9am. A wealth of photos, artifacts, and exhibits surrounding the considerable history of Waskaganish (Fort Charles, then Rupert's House), the small museum, combined with Jimmy's incredible knowledge, provided us a perspective-widening learning experience. First established in 1668 by the Hudson's Bay Trading Company, the town has faced many changes and challenges over its 330+ year history.
The five day session of VBS ended today with the green page of the wordless book. As a symbol of growing things, this page reminded the children of the necessity of growth as a Christian: Bible reading, prayer, fellowship, singing songs, etc. Over the course of the week, we had a total of 84 children registered, with 60+ in attendance at one time on Wed or Thu. We are so thankful for the opportunity we were given to speak into these precious children's lives, with a message of hope in Jesus Christ. Invitations were given to the children to bring their parents for a special presentation on Sunday morning.
After treating us to supper at the lodge, David and Greta took Cameron and I for a boat ride on the Rupert River.

Before we slept that night, we were treated to an amazing lightening show which seemed to completely surround the village!
