I have to agree wholeheartedly with your observation of Mrs. M!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Actually Bro. Dudley used to scare the h--- out of a lot of people when he would almost hit them with those huge hands of his. Maybe that's why they received the HG so easily sometimes, They just had the h--- scared out of them. :)

I certainly don't claim Bro. Dudley's mantle. Like Bro. Dudley, not everyone that I pray with receives the Holy Ghost baptism. However, I have been blessed to encourage many as they believed God for this wonderful gift and witness them receive their glorious baptism. To God be the glory!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

And I pray our church will benefit from that.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

We attended the funeral for Sis. Mary Reed yesterday. It was a very fitting service for this wonderful lady who was married to Rev. Howard Reed for more than 70 years. It was good to see such a good representation from the ministry present for this funeral. We need to continue praying for Bro. Reed and his family! They have lost a very strong spiritual influence in their family with her passing.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

It always takes something out of me when I hear of another elder passing on.

We should also remember Bro Mills, beside the loss of his mother-in-law this week, he also lost his step-brother and had to attend two wakes, and funerals this week alone.

I'm sure he is feeling it. It's hard to believe he is over 70 now.

That's quite a snowbank there in your av, TB...:snowing

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

She left SUCH a legacy. And seventy years? That just is beautiful.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

It is and we're getting more snow as I type!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

... and it's starting to get old. :toofunny

I hear through the grapevine that Mr. and Mrs. Monkeyman are heading south soon. Lucky them!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Woo hoo! Woo hoo! :bliss

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Is there any room in your luggage for one more?

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Who will handle the music while the Monks are gone?!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Kathy Leaman, I would imagine. Our Assistant pastors wife... she's really awesome as well. She (and her husband) looked after the choir in Saint John for many years before coming to our fair city. She usually steps in on Sunday evenings when the Monks are away.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Wonder if her husband is kin to the Leamans that were from Michigan?! Bro. Paul Leaman pastored in Saginaw for many years and was a great mean...not just in stature and presence, but in character.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

No.. he is not related to any of the stateside Leamans, I don't believe.
Our assitants name is Jack Leaman.. and he knows Bro Jack Leaman from headquarters...
They are truly one of the sweetest ministry couples I know.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Well y'all certainly have a great church, girl...I keep reading and hearing wonderful things about it.

God bless all that you all do for Kingdom sake...:clap

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

I corrected my post... I'm not sure if Bro Leaman knows Paul Leaman... I do know he knows Bro Jack Leaman (who shares the same name)
Forgive me for that, I read your post quickly.

Yes, our church has been around for many years, and has weathered many storms... and is now in a wonderful season of harvest.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Bro. Leaman passed many years ago, and I'm not sure if he is related to HQs Bro. Leaman or not.

Felicity and TB may know something about all of this, as I think Bro. Paul L was on the missions board or Director or something back in the day.

A season of harvest...that's a wonderful thought, Sistergirl...I may have to study on that.

Don't be surprised if you see those words again on this board...;)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Bro Jack Leaman was director of something... do you think I can remember what?

Season of Harvest.. now I'll expect some royalties! :)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

LOL!! I'll bring it whenever I visit NB...:friend

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

I believe Jack Leaman's position was Promotional Director for FMD. He was responsible for missionary schedules, and promoting Faith Promise, etc. We had a chance to speak with Bro. and Sis. Leaman at the GC in October. They both seem to be doing well. They are are great couple. We always appreciated his leadership.

BTW, Bro. & Sis. Jack Leaman at CCC are also a fantastic couple.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Just a slight correction, Garry Tracy is Kathy's uncle...
Julie (and Peter) Long's father is Garry... (Julie and Peter Long are assistants at Mark Drive still I believe)
So, same Tracy family.. only her uncle not her father.

I think this is the church he pastors.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Thank you, TB...I was confusing Bro. JL with Michigan's Bro. PL...my memory is not what it used to be. ;)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

You too? I have "sometimers" myself. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't! :)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Good afternoon!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

How are you Rachel?!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

I'm good. God's great. :)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Let us thank him for our food AMEN!


(I'm in a :gaga mood today, don't mind me)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Let it Snow,Let it Snow,Let it Snow!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Get the behind me! :toofunny
:tissue:reaction

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

D+J, Thanx for the DVD's,think I'll watch them tonight.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Don't you like snow? After all it's still winter in the Maritimes.:tissue

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

I think I've had my fill for this year.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

I love to see snow but in your driveway please,I have had enough until Christmas.!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

My driveway is a mess!!! Glory.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Just received my flyer for Family Camp I like the way they are doing it for this year!

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Most of the opinions I've heard has been positive. I've heard some concerns. I imagine it will take a few years to get the kinks worked out but maybe it will be for the best. It can't be worse than trying to keep the old-time-together camp-meeting feeling in the Aiken Center! :)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

I heard tonight, that Rachel's oldest sister was in a car accident today. Her husband has had a severe medical problem the last few months... and they are in Montreal due to that... I don't know details... but I know her sister was hurt and this is the last thing that family needs. Could we please pray for them... they have two small children and the husband has been unable to work because of his health and now this.

God is in control but I really wonder if maybe he's waiting on some people to start calling on him in fervency to heal and turn this around.

(I don't want to name Rachel's family members without her permission, some of you would already know, but please pray)

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Another storm tomorrow... reports I heard are 15-30 cms accross the province with blizzard conditions in the Miramichi and Acadian Peninsula.

Extended periods of ice pellets and freezing rain.

Get your flashlight batteries charged.

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 

Heard about Shawna this morning while visiting with pastor friends at their home. Apparently she's suffered multiple fractures.

We and many others have and continue to pray. :praying
