ML, do you have the scoop on what's happening in Sussex? I couldn't believe the new construction going on there and the new stores that have opened up there. I just read in the newspaper on Monday that the Potash Company is planning on digging a new mine that will double their production. Is it true that oil has been discovered in the area?

I haven't heard anything about oil, but there is a lot of buzz about natural gas. Here's an article, a little outdated, but it gives the basics.

Sussex gas driller targets U.S. market

Last Updated: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 | 2:21 PM AT

The petroleum development company Corridor Resources is preparing to drill 20 more natural gas wells in the McCully gas field near Sussex, N.B.
Company president Norm Miller spelled out his plans at an industry meeting in Halifax on Tuesday. He says the goal is to get enough gas and raise enough cash to tap into the North East Pipeline that carries natural gas to the United States.
Miller says two wells are already producing, eight are drilled and ready to tap, and he plans to drill 20 more in the Sussex area during the next 2½ years.
He wants to approach the financial community to raise $80 million for a gas plant and to tap into the North East gas pipeline, which already carries gas from the Sable offshore project to markets south of the border.
Miller says the company needs the money by late spring. "It will be about half that going into drilling the wells and about half going into the facilities."
Corridor Resources found the natural gas field almost by accident. The company drilled a well for the Sussex Potash Corporation looking for a place to dump waste salt water. The company didn't find one, but struck gas instead, in a place where Corridor had always wanted to drill.
Now the company's problem is what to do with the gas it has found. The Potash Corporation uses some gas to dry potash, but so far the mine is Corridor's only customer. That's why the company must connect to the pipeline that carries gas to customers in New England.
"Otherwise we have stranded gas, nowhere to go," said Miller. "So connecting to the pipeline is absolutely critical to raising funding and moving ahead with larger elements of the project."
Miller told the business crowd in Halifax that his company also has the rights to promising gas leases in various parts of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and off the coast of Cheticamp in Cape Breton.
However, he says for the moment all efforts will focus on developing gas and markets for the McCully Field near Sussex.
Uranium in the Cambridge Narrows area is a big topic right now. With Uranium up to $130 from $10, prospecting for Uranium is a big deal.

On the retail side, I think that the new Wal Mart has really established Sussex as the shopping center that it always claimed to be.

I think that, from the evident boom in Sussex, the Town Council has been sowing its increased tax revenue to TBN, and reaping a hundredfold harvest.

Did you see the new "chapel" that they're building at Bethany Bible College?

It's pretty hard not to notice. Very impressive.

Saunders Irving Chapel
 
http://www.bbc.ca/advance/chapel07.jpg

On September 13, 2005 we broke ground for this new Chapel. Dr. John C. Maxwell was guest speaker and joined Mrs. Jean Irving as co-chairs of the Decade of Development Capital Campaign. What a historic day in the life of Bethany Bible College!

The Saunders Irving Chapel will serve as the heart of campus and centre for spiritual life. Here students and staff will regularly meet with God to nurture a life of worship and devotion. Here hearts will be set ablaze with the love of God. In a spiritually enriched campus environment where all students are preparing for ministry - this Chapel is uniquely a place where students will pray, sing, learn to preach and deepen their walk with God. The Chapel will serve at the core of our mission to prepare world-class Christian leaders for ministry.

By God's Grace, as one enters this Chapel there will be an immediate sense of the sacred presence of God - His majestic transcendence as well as His nearness and intimacy. Outwardly, a modern reflection of the classic and historic lines of great places of worship will make this building recognizable as our centre for worship.

Inside the Chapel the sense of vertical lift, use of light, and warmth of ambience will both inspire and invite worshipers into the holy presence of God. The strength of its presence will testify to the central place worship has in campus life and in preparation for ministry. Its height and stateliness will lead the campus forward as Bethany takes her place among leading institutions in North America for ministerial education.

Strategic Design
Main floor seating - 650
Choir & instrument section seating - 60
Balcony Overflow seating - 200
Narthex overflow seating - 100
Maximum seating including 2nd Phase balcony - over 1,000
Approximately 14,000 square feet per floor
Celtic Cross will crown the steeple rising 80 feet above the crest of the hill, clearly distinguishing this as a place of Christian worship.

Our daughter is a graduate of Bethany Bible College. I was very impressed with this college when she attended there.

Bethany Bible College has accreditation through The Association for Biblical Higher Education. What has her experience been with acceptance of a BBC degree by other educational institutions or employers?

You polish up your two best sermons, I'll work the phones, and you'll be living the abundant life before school starts up in the fall.

ALVIN 07-26-2007 07:28 AM

I'll make a prediction, and I don't think that it'll be a long shot, that the pulpit in Sussex will be filled long before cob webs form across the door to the pastor's study. You won't have to wait long to see if I am right either. That's the long and short of it as I see it. So long for now.

When she returned from a year of teaching English in Japan she decided she wanted to go into teaching, but found she needed to take additional courses and attended Atlantic Baptist University for a year before coming to Vancouver where she teaches English as a second language at a college in downtown Vancouver.

Very interesting. Was her experience at Atlantic Baptist University positive, and does the additional year spent there qualify her for licensing as a teacher in New Brunswick?

I have been told that at least one student has had credits from Northeast Christian College accepted at Atlantic Baptist University. If that is indeed the case, it may become a viable alternative for students graduating from NCC, but not pursuing a career in ministry. Perhaps someone better informed than I am would comment on the NCC - ABU situation.

seguidordejesus 07-26-2007 11:20 AM

Anyone have info on how a US citizen could work in Canada, specifically as a Spanish or English teacher? I'm mostly interested in Quebec.

I agree. J'J's is really good.

You have an uncle I have a ____________ in Sussex. Which is, no offense taken because I think the world of my ____________, the number one reason why I have no intentions. Some guys have done it but thanks but no thanks is how I feel!!

This is a very interesting post in my estimation!!

I should work the phones myself to see if Alvin himself is going to make the big move!!

Whoever it must have their things set in order!

Hey I agree with you maybe Alvin is going to take the plunge.Have you been praying about it Al?

TRIPLE E 07-26-2007 12:33 PM

Thank's Rachel I knew that place had a name! If you are into the past JJ's is the place to go.It brought back so many memories of things I saw as a kid growing up in rural NB.

How are your grandparents doing?

Rachel 07-26-2007 12:48 PM

They're doing good.. Gramp testified last night - He sees someone in Halifax for his eyes fairly regularly (due to the diabetes). She had told him he'd probably eventually go blind in one eye - but Monday when he saw her last, she told she was amazed. She'd seen a 99% improval in that eye and she said he could call it a miracle.

You missed the whole point of my post, but it doesn't matter because it won't be long until you'll understand the point of my long rambling prediction. I don't have any inside knowledge, but I'm not just taking a long shot with my guess either.

I've always dreamed of pastoring in a place with a cow mascot, but it's definitely not me.

Well I hope they find a pastor soon. It's not too good for a church to be without a pastor long.

For anyone interesting in the ramblings of a yank, after some consideration and receiving wise counsel, for which I am always grateful, I may make the journey in summer instead of spring.

Just trying to keep the Saints informed...:choir
