Sooo... are Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims/Indians, mayflower stories big there?

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
Hi Hoovie,
Those stories are not big here, Canada was founded differently, although they are taught in schools as part of history. When the Mayflower came over Newfoundland was long settled. St. John's, Newfoundland is the oldest settlement in North America, Cupids, Newfoundland was established in 1610. Canada's Thanksgiving isn't as old as your though, and is more of a Thanksgiving for the blessings we have been given, the things we have, for families and friends and for the harvest.

And, of course, most of all, we give thanks that we had the good fortune to be born Canadian.
A brother pointed out to me this weekend that 10X10X10 were the dimensions of the Most Holy Place in Solomon's temple!
Our dinner was great, btw!
