Sod turned for new Church in Red Earth

 

On Friday, July 3rd, the sod was turned for the construction of a new Church to serve the people of Red Earth Cree Nation. The programme began in the community hall with readings, prayers, a sermon and speeches organized by Mr. Weldon Whithead.  Chief Miller Nawakayas welcomed those in attendance, the Rev. Rita Nawakayas led in the prayers and Bishop Michael preached.  Following the programme in the hall everyone went outside for the official sod turning which was followed by a lunch in the hall. The plan is to have Church construction completed in September and to consecrate the building in the fall. Click here to see more photos.
