Speaker: Fredda Paul

Today we carried on from last week with more stories by Fredda Paul, Indian Residential School survivor, and Leslie Wood. Once again the stories centered on Fredda’s friend, Jonathan, and once again it was special. In this reading we learned of Jonathan’s death at the school but we also learned about the ways that his life has continued to influence Fredda. Peter Fitch, who read the stories, shared his desire to appreciate life after death through Indigenous perspective. Music at the beginning of the service was by Raymond Funk and the poem that followed was by Jessica Williams.
