My friend posted this somewhere...
Quote:
Yesteday the majority of the ministers at District Conference voted against splitting the district. This is not an official vote. This is just an 'opinion vote' so that headquarters can get an idea of how the people of the Western District feel. Saturday another vote will be held in the southern part of the district. After that vote the issue will the brought before the Headquarters General Board for discussion and they will make the final decision.
If you are against the Western District splitting please sign this petition. The more young people that sign the louder our voice will be!
(copy and paste http://pub32.bravenet.com/guestbook/2712946740 into your address bar to sign the petition) please take the time to sign it!
If the district splits it will mean:
Youth Convention
Sr. Camp
Way Choir
Drama Tour
Youth On Missions
Bible Quizzing
Praise On The Mountain
PK Retreat...
and many other events where we see our friends will CEASE to exist as we know them (this means either completely cease to exist or be reduced by 1/2 people!)
If the Western District splits at the grapevine ALL your friends on the other side of the grapevine will go to a completely different Youth Convention, Sr. Camp...etc.
Signing the petition may not do much to stop this split...but who knows it MAY be eye-opening to show how many YOUTH don't want it to happen!!!!
