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

We are supposed to get between 5-6 hours of freezing rain tonight.

Mrs. LPW 03-04-2008 05:02 PM

Re: Whaaaaaaatt???? What's happening in Canada??
 
I know and I'm not looking forward to it. Last freezing rain storm we lost power for about 9 hours. Brrrrrr.

Don't think any are officially gone yet.
I heard maybe five leaving but can't speak prophetically.

Alberta needs to become the next "mission" field for the Atlantic District. :) There are so many young preachers who aren't going out into ministry anywhere. Someone needs to light a fire under them about reaching Canada with the gospel! My understanding from talking with HP is that the Alberta District wouldn't give him a transfer of credentials. He was told to keep his credential renewals through the Atlantic District. Now that he's the only UPC church, this shouldn't be a problem any longer.

Does anyone know if RR in New Westminster left the UPCI?

Hmmmm - that's interesting. A dose of Atlantic District style UPC in Alberta would be good for the UPC here - or not - depending on one's perspective.

I work with someone from Johnny King's church so have had several interesting discussions about all this Tulsa.....ization......

Monkeyman, you have never come across as a mean person to me up until now! I just finished reading the weather man's report in the Daily Gleaner in which he is saying that in general NB gets more than 30% of it's total accumulation of snow in March. He says we should expect more storms. Then I open this thread and here you are tormenting us with 70 degree weather reports. Shame on you! :)

Actually we are house sitting for Deborah's sister and husband who are in Florida for almost three weeks. So I get the same thing from them.
