Porcupine makes Valentines

A valentine may love you for a life time, but God loved you before you were born and will love you through all eternity!
Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love... with loving kindness I have drawn you. Jeremiah 31:3

Today, the day before Valentines Day, we had a church service at Porcupine on the Reservation. We enjoyed a wonderful worship service and after that everyone had the opportunity to make several Valentines telling of the most special love ever, Gods love in sending his very son. John 3:16.The back side of each Valentine had a invitation to come to our Mission Church twice a month to learn more about this special Love.
Everyone, even the adults enjoyed decorating a red bag to carry the Valentines that they had made along with a decorated cookie so they could be given to friends, neighbors and family who they wanted to show love to by inviting them to learn more about Jesus.

Everyone got to have a cookie for themselves and 3 or 4 more to give out to whoever they wanted to share the valentine invitation with. This is the best way for us to show love this Valentines Day, invite someone to our Church, Sunday School or Bible class. Tell them about Jesus never ending love.






The cookies were put in sandwich bags to make delivery easier and also to keep them clean.


Below we see Larry using Flannel board to tell about the Children of Israel, The Lamb of God who is Jesus, Moses as he asks Pharaoh to "LET MY PEOPLE GO"



The flannel board really makes the Bible lesson come alive.

This is me with a few of the children after we learnt the Epiphany lesson of the Wise men or the Kings coming to worship baby Jesus and bring Him gifts. Our craft for that day was crowns with star's on.


Vicar Albert Sutton and Rev Utecht greet the people with a hand shake and maybe even a few "whisker rubs" after the church service.


Vicar Sutton talks about the Lamb of God, Jesus the perfect sacrifice for all our sins.
