MM, I want to echo Felicity's comments on the Sunday night worship. I was thrilled to witness the generosity of CCC in responding to the need in Guatemala. AD in general has always been such a strong missions minded district!

We attended the AD Summer Summit in July 2007 and the General Conference in October 2007. I noticed a real change in attitude and emphasis that was refreshing and encouraging to me.

During this transition period in our lives we are attending CCC and I believe the UPCI is moving in a right direction if Pastor RW is one example of a new generation of UPC ministers who are strong in the Word, but progressive and innovative in their delivery of the Word and presentation of their church, than there is reason to be encouraged. RW is an awesome pastor IMHO!

Having said this, I want to add that the UPCI will be much more efffective going forward to the degree they are willing to humble themselves and are willing to acknowledge the authenticity of non-UPCers relationship with God. IMHO, one can have an effective Priscilla/Aquilla ministry to other sincere Christian believers only when it is done with deep humility rather than the haughty spirit that so often characterizes those who feel they have THE TRUTH.

An excellent report, well worth repeating, and some very good advice.

The AD is home to some of the greatest preachers and people on this Pentecostal planet.

I read something in The Daily Gleaner this morning that I found rather amusing. On the Religion Page there was an ad for a church that calls itself CITY IMPACT CHURCH.

What I found so amusing is that it's located in Zealand, NB!!!

ZEALAND

Population in 2001 - 2,958

Population in 1996 - 2,964

1996 to 2001 population change (%)-0.2
Total private dwellings 1,195
Land area (square km) 404.00
Population density per square kilometre 7.3

Now, if their target audience is Fredericton, how many believe that a church located 35KM away in a place like Zealand will impact the city of Fredericton?

If their target is Zealand, then their first priority will have to be growing the population so that it qualifies as a city.
