A United Conservative Party (UCP) member Searle Turton thought it would be a good idea to hold a coloring contest "in celebration of Spring and Easter just around the corner" but one church thought they would have a little more fun with it.
GraceLife Church members saw their own church raided by RCMP and their very own pastor, James Coates, arrested and held in custody for 35 days in February 2021 for continuing to hold services during the endless Canadian lockdown.
Pastor James Coates was one of three Alberta pastors who were arrested for defying Covid-19 restrictions.
So, when a so-called Conservative member publicly announces a coloring contest (while staying silent about the unjust treatment of these men of God) GraceLife members thought they would join in the fun on this Easter coloring contest!
According to the Western Standard, the contest was posted on Facebook on March 31 and Searle explained that the contest is open to all ages participants are to submit their completed coloring page by April 14 for a chance to win an Easter Gift Basket!
Although it looks like Searle Turton has removed his Facebook post, this amazing photo has emerged from his contest.
And in my opinion, it's the real winner:
"I imprisoned more pastors than any other western leaders," reads the caption accompanying the drawing of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.
Oh and of course the bottom reads "HAPPY EASTER!" along with a smiling Kennedy with two big thumbs up!
Throwing pastors in jail for fighting for religious liberties and for refusing to stop their services will forever be a dark stain on Canadian history and our religious freedom.
BUT this church knows how to take something horrible and color it in a way to make it maybe a little less painful.
GraceLife Church has the right spirit!
They refused to shut their doors. They refused to give in to tyrannical lockdowns and restrictions. And they refuse to stay quiet about what has been going on with this disgusting government overreach.
I guess when you can't cry anymore, just laugh?
