A few weeks ago I showed some of our wedding photos as it was our anniversary. Everybody's wedding is extremely important. The surroundings and events are not forgotten.
The venue for our wedding was different. The wedding was held in a place called Stinger Hall Chapel. Inuvik had a 1000 student school. Kids were brought in from up to 1000 miles away and kept in two hostels. Stringer hall was a residence that held about 300 kids.
The chapel was for all the kids in the residence.
Inuvik was a special Arctic settlement planned and built after the Second World war. Construction was officially finished in 1957 but some of it still continued. Stringer Hall was finished long before the Hotel was built. Travelers stayed in the student hostel. A pilot stayed there on a regular basis. He was a bit of an artist so painted the large mural behind the alter during his stops in Inuvik.
The mural shows a picture of children coming to Christ. The big thing in this mural is that the children are aboriginal.
I'm not sure if the idea comes from a biblical quotation. Far Side will be able to cover that Chap and verse if there is one.
So I've always considered this an interesting mural as well as the story behind it.
