The Canadian Zone~From Sea To Sea

[Monkeyman]

Here is the canadian thread...I hope ML finds his way here. This is his home!
God bless CANADA!!!!!

[Ron]

Second Canadian checking in from the West Coast!

[Monkeyman]

Wow, coast to coast already!!! How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Still FREEZING here!!! Expecting a storm soon. (So I heard)

Rainy (what else on the wet coast?) & mild!

It is like 10 degrees outside!

[TRIPLE E]

Hey Monkey-man,you put this thread in a hard place to find.I just started another thread in the fellowship hall.I guess I'll have to see if Admin can delete it for me.Sorry about that Monlkey.

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

Canadian Friends!

I cannot remember a single reported post from the Canadian Threads.

We welcome your being here!

[Monkeyman]

Hey Monkey-man,you put this thread in a hard place to find.I just started another thread in the fellowship hall.I guess I'll have to see if Admin can delete it for me.Sorry about that Monlkey.
No worries!! As long as there is one on the forum...I'll ask admin to delete mine.

ADMIN, PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE 2 ON THE FORUM...THANKS

[Rhoni]

We already have a Canadian thread...it may be confusing to have two? Just wondering.

Blessings, Rhoni

[The Mrs]

Sounds good Rhoni!

We can close or delete one or the other. Preferably the other since this was opened first.

Would all you Canuks like to see a Title Change to merge the two threads? :dunno

I know you used to have CCC in your old name. And I've seen C2C, as well.

[Felicity]

I think the Canadian thread should be in the the Fellowship Hall. Not in the Blog section of the forum.

[The Mrs]

I think the Canadian thread should be in the the Fellowship Hall. Not in the Blog section of the forum.

It was decided to have all the 'blog' type threads here so they could be found more easily. Thad's Tab, Gabby's and C2C are all 'community' blog based threads.

I thought it was a great idea. I always like to check in on everyone's blog threads, but sometimes it's hard to find them. And I don't usually make a point of digging around for them. You know the old phrase, 'out of sight, out of mind'. :D

I know it's not what we're used to, but I'd like to see everyone give this a chance.

[Felicity]

But the Canadian thread isn't a blog. All kind of discussion takes place on this thread. It's like a "general discussion" thread for Canadians.

It thought a blog is where one person basically is keeping a diary of their thoughts and activities. The Canadian thread has never been that. It's always been in the General Discussion area.

At one time it pretty much stayed on page 1 or 2 of General Discussion.

I'm only one voice. Perhaps more will chime in. Definitely only need one Canadian thread though.

I agree, I think the Canadian thread, along with TT, and Gabby's are all a 'general discussion' type thread based on a community of dedicated posters. They each have their own 'following' of posters.

Mostly they are made up of those dedicated posters who are basically just yakking and sharing...general discussion.

And I think it's great that they have their own area to call their own. Cafe Blog-a-bit isn't just about blogs, it's more of a type of coffeehouse. You come, you sit, you share, you yak, you relax. :D

[Sister Truth Seeker]

I was concerned about Gabby's too, but it seems to be getting some viewing...not as much as before, but I am ok with that...if people are interested they will find it......

[TRIPLE E]

I know you used to have CCC in your old name. And I've seen C2C, as well.

CCC was a thread of its own,mostly frequented by members or people associated with that congregation. C2C represents "From Sea to Sea" which represents all of Canada .

[TRIPLE E]

I originally started the second Canadian thread as I never thought to look in a Blog section for it.I hope others who pass by realize there's a place for us Northerners here just a little out of sight though.:grampa

[TRIPLE E]

Just thot I'd post this here in case my Canadian thread gets axed.

Well warmer temps are on the way but so is the snow.Don't put your shovels away yet Easterners ,snow coming on Monday and snow coming on Thursday.
Hey CCC'ers make sure to give us an update on YX this week.I can't make it this year but have always enjoyed Bro.Rutledge's ministry.
Oh another notice to all Canucks,there's a Canadian blogging this month on ninetyandnine.net you might want to go check it out!
signing off for now,

I agree as well. Many of our Canadian Friends will not find us here. I was looking in the Fellowship Hall. Please restore us to our rightful position!! :drawguns

[Monkeyman]

Hey CCC'ers make sure to give us an update on YX this week.I can't make it this year but have always enjoyed Bro.Rutledge's ministry.
TE
We have sooooo many first time visitors coming, and I mean "unchurched!!!"
PLEASE PRAY FOR US!!!
You would have been blown away by the intercession that concluded our powerful Sunday of services as we prayed for YX.
There are kids coming from Quebec and Ontario...if there is any way to even steal away for a service you would do yourself and any young person a favour.

We haved asked God for 20 to receive the Holy Ghost this month and we believe this will occur.

This is going to be the best YX ever and we have had some amazing times, praise God!

Please pray for Capital Community Church, Fredericton, NB Canada for Youth X-Plosion '07 this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with Youth Pastor Tim Rutledge of P.O.A.

[The Mrs]

Hey folks! Just wanted to drop you a little note here to let you know of the changes in this thread.

In order to eliminate the confusion, the other thread was deleted, and this one renamed to reflect the combining of both thread titles.

Hope that works out okay. :waving

[rgcraig]

Yep. I think the Canadian thread should be in the General discussion area.

It's lost here.

Just a thought - - the Candian thread wasn't always on the first or even the second page of the General Discussion and no one every had trouble finding it.

If someone does a search, it'll show up and then they'll know where it is.

Before we opened up, it was decided that all these type threads would be easier to locate in one area instead of throughout the Fellowship Hall.

Just something new and with some time, all will adjust.

Thanks!

How are things in the wild west?

[Destiny2]

If pastor J is still praying for snow,I will have to go and have a talk with him,the plow had left a ridge of snow more than waist deep this morning(and they have yet to widen the street),if my blower had been powerful enough I would have gladly sent the snow his way.lol

You wouldda LOVED it...new music, young preachers....OLD SCHOOL HOLY GHOST & WORSHIP!!!
I got NO voice, my feets hurt...and I got the biggest smile on my face!
(Disclaimer...not an attempt to bash older music or preachers, they are still very much needed, just stating the fact the Holy Ghost fell no matter the style)

Falla39We had a former NBer pray through tonight to a refilling of the Holy Ghost. It's been years since he spoke in tongues and he's been dry for a long time. He really got a great refilling tonight. Just awesome. And his wife was slain out last night and slightly drunk leaving the church. Hehe. She's also from N.B. :bliss

[Felicity]

Oh yes -- someone asked about the couple moving out here to B.C. from N.B.

Guess it's okay to say now that Kenny and Willa Stoddard have been voted into the church in Nanaimo (on Vancouver Island)! We're looking forward to having fellowship with them and they're excited about coming! :)

[Thumper]

Not to be a whiner but I really hate this thread in this section. It get very little traffic and is to easily ignored.

I vote for equal treatment from our american friends.

It's a big move for them and I keep asking Bro. S. if Willa is okay with the move and he says she's excited so that's good seein's it's so far from home.

Vancouver Island is so beautiful!

Listened to an intersting tape today of one of our resident canadian posters preached way back in 1992.Preached on "Don't Let The Devil Steal From You" song two songs I never heard before.One was along the lines was "I didn't know what happy was till I met Jesus" and the other a more slower song about how God's eyes are always upon us watching each step we take."
Anyone wanna guess who it was?

Anyone wanna guess who it was?I used to think I was happy,
Thought I had such joy and bliss
But then Jesus came and took my sins all away
And now I really know what true joy is.

Because I found Jesus, He's the Great Joy Giver!
You may think that you're happy but I know that you'll never
Find joy like the joy that Jesus gives when He comes into your life to live.
He's got rivers of blessing that never run dry
Life eternal waiting in the sky
You may search everywhere but nothing compares
To the joy that Jesus gives.

------------------


Sometimes it seems God's a million miles away
Too busy for a creature such as I
And then I think how he sees each sparrow fall
I call on Him and find that He is nigh!

The eyes of Jesus fall upon each footstep that I take
His ears are always open when I call
His hand is always there to help me lift my heavy load
His heart is broken every time I stray

;) :)

The Canadian thread was one of the longest on FCF --- 2nd to Thad's tab I think.

[Felicity]

Received a beautiful letter from Sis. Murray Urquhart yesterday - hand written even. You don't get many of those anymore.

It was so nice to hear from her! She has always been one of my favorite minister's wives back home. Such a lady! Always a lady! And so faithful. I just love her!

Definitely plan to visit them when we're home either in the Summer or Fall. We haven't decided yet when we're going.

It's wonderful to be around people you feel "safe" with, you know? She was always one of those women with me. And Sis. Beesley too of course.

I remember all those preachers' conferences I went to .....sitting in on the business sessions. I usually always sat with Sis. Beesley, and Sis Urquhart was usually always there - she'd be crocheting or knitting during the business sessions! :) Such a beautiful lady!

[Scott Hutchinson]

She's wonderful! I seen her the week before last when I went to Gramp & Nan's.. It's amazing how Murray had a stroke just a few months ago and he's still one of the first on his feet, though sometimes steady, and one of the first with his hands raised!

It's amazing how Murray had a stroke just a few months ago and he's still one of the first on his feet, though sometimes steady, and one of the first with his hands raised!I was just sitting here re-reading the letter she sent.

She was telling me about the stroke and all. I had no idea that had happened to Bro. Urquhart! It's been very hard on them both.

She was one of the women you notice. Like Sis. Stickles (another of my heroes :)). Such honourable, faithful, beautiful women of God. True ladies!

[Rachel]

Out of the many people I know, I'd probably say Auntie Evelyn is one that is dignified. By true lady, you're right.

By the way, hi. ;)

"Dignified". Perfect description! And beautiful too. I always thought she was a beautiful lady.

She was telling me that last year Murray turned 86 and that much of that Fall he helped a neighbor build a 2 story barn style garage for a sail boat. At 86! :)

I'm just so sorry about the stroke and how it's affected him. And apparently he hasn't been well lately - has other issues he's dealing with physically as well. When we come home this summer/fall, we're definitely going to drop by and visit.

It's so nice to get letters like this knowing that we're missed and thought of and prayed for. She told me that she felt so impressed to pray for me - that I'd been on her mind. It's so reassuring to know that people care! :)

Bro. Urguhart reminds me of my dad, who lived to be 95, but when he was in his early 80's he was working alongside his pastor who was also a mason, mixing cement and carrying bricks and cement up ladders.

The Urguharts are among the list of people in my life who I consider quality people with true Christian integrity. They have always inspired me and been a great encouragement to us through the years.

We pray that he recovers and gets to enjoy, along with his lovely wife that new home of theirs for years to come.

Oh I'll jump ahead a few months now what special meaning does June 24. have to those in Quebec ?

June 24th in Quebec is like July 1st in the rest of Canada.It is celebrated big time .It is called "La fete de Saint Jean Baptiste".(John the Baptist Birthday)They call it their "fete nationale" but in reality it is their province's province day just like we have a New Brunswick day in August.Those who are really into it will have a bon fire in their back yard which they call "le feu du Saint Jean Baptiste"
John the Baptist's fire.In Quebec City each year they have a huge bon fire on the plains of Abraham to commemorate this special day.:grampa
