What has happened in Haiti is catastrophic to say the least. Your child may or may not hear about this, but either way we wanted to provide you with some ways that you as a family could talk about these things at home and be praying together for Haiti.

Everyone from where the sun rises in the east

His father and grandfather were leaders in the Celtic church.

Last Tuesday, your child learned about the worldview of tribal groups around the world. Although tribal practices may differ from culture to culture, they are based on animism, a belief in powerful spirits that live in natural objects like rocks, trees, mountains, water and animals. Believing that these spirits have control over nature and influence human life, tribal peoples live in fear of evil spirits. They try to influence the actions of the spirits by offering gifts, performing rituals, and visiting mediators such as witchdoctors, medicine men,  KEEP READING
