We had a letter read tonight.

It was a letter thanking us for our generous spirit...reminding us of all the faith-strengthening

things that have been happening lately...a reminder that more and more Kingdom Halls need to

be built...and informing us that there are 'exciting things to come'.:huh:

 

No word as to what those exciting things to come will be.^_^

My Bible-trained imagination tells me it has something, er--everything to do with this:

  Sorry to disappoint you but that That big announcement that started this feed Was  announceing that we were going to have our   Regional Convention in Vancouver instead of  travelling almost 100 miles away, that's what  we have been doing for at least 9 years. So that will be a real treat for us not having to travel all that way.

Samira, are you able to say where exactly in Somerset this is? I only ask as I know a family in Frome and others in South Bristol on the Somerset borders

Our friends living in Midsomer Norton......who do you know in Frome?

 

 

sorry Brother Marcus.....I ask because we know Frome congregation very well......was our last congregation for over 6 years

before we moved to Chelmsford.

Still visiting our friends in Frome every few month.......

Our friends in Midsomer Norton believe they have to go to Frome, even Bristol would be nearer.

That's not a disappointment.

It's never disappointing to hear our brothers won't have to travel so far to their convention.^_^

In a way it was a BIG announcement as we are going to be  synced with the Special  Convention in Toronto which will have  members of the GB in attendance, this includes Calgary, Edmonton and other major Cities  across Canada.  The brothers have asked that we build Enthusiasm  and show Canada how united JW are in Canada.  There will also be  all congregations from Vancouber Island coming  to Vancouver......expected attendance in Vancouver 17,000 . 

Quite a feat to get venues in all major cities  including good rates in Hotels right across Canada on the same date  but it all came together  . Jehovah's blessings were evident the brothers  mentioned  .

I used to live on Vancouver Island (outside of Victoria).  I still reminisce about my service to God in that area.  Enjoy your convention and association.  I recall when Canada had about 25,000 publishers across the entire country.

I thought it was a misspelling. Enjoy.

We had a letter read last night about the Warrick dedication in October. Previously we were told that it would be streamed to the Assembly Hall, but last night we found out it will also be shown at the Kingdom Halls, so no meetings or assemblies will be scheduled for October 7 & 8 so all the congregations can be scheduled to see the dedication.

I heard about this as well. It'll also be translated simultaneously in Spanish. Very exciting! Can't wait.

The growth is great.  In 1953 there were 22.350 publishers in Canada.  When I left in 1958 there were 30.933.

was wondering when "all"  kingdom hall streaming would happen.  nice.

The letter specifically said it was for KH that are equipped for it, so I guess that technically not 'all' KH will receive the live or recorded video. I don't know if that affects your comment.
