Spiritual Emphasis Week

This is "Spiritual Emphasis Week" at Rosslyn Academy: The students are learning about the Exodus story in a program called "The Great Escape". As part of the program, Erica is teaching a Bible lesson and craft in the afternoons and I am leading a refugee seminar with one of our Somali refugee friends, Yusuf. The children have been full of questions as they share with him in his first hand account of the trials and ordeals of a Somali refugee.

Some great pictures, how did the jewelry craft go. I hope Emma gets to plant her frankinsense seeds.
Love and Prayers Jane & John Weiler.
John will be at the PEI Association Rally tomorrow. Maybe I can put some of your pictures on a power point for him to show.

Hi I found your blog through the CBM website as I was looking to share news of Kenya at church tomorrow- Andy Desroches has been to our church several times and we (my husband Frank and I met Malcolm and Patty when they were in Vankleek Hill Ontario last fall. Your Feb 19th blog brought tears to my eyes. I will share it as well as the Cards update at our service tomorrow. Give our love to Andy and Rebecca Jean Brodie
