Additionally, the Men's Ministry Director for Tennessee is already making plans to gather a group to go assist in their recovery efforts an, ironically, it appears that Renda's Pastor is working in cooperation with this effort... a fact that was openly noted on another forum for some who post there, too, to see.
Offers of help have come from everywhere. Offers to let them utilize buildings have come from various directions... they chose the AG because it's practically in their backyard of their now destroyed place of worship.
Amazing how quickly it becomes an anti-UPC rant. Especially in light of the fact that help WAS offered from multiple UPC groups.
Sad.

It was posted here too that the Cupples offered their church (my pastor), so I don't understand what is ironic about that.
Also, this was blown way out of proportion by some that felt it was bashing. If you had taken time to read the thread you would see that all was said was too bad the UPC church didn't ask them first to use their building. No one is saying the UPC isn't willing to help. Why do some jump to such conclusions?
