Scandal-Plagued Megachurch Hopes to Leave Horrid Past Behind

Another megachurch, this time The Meeting House, a multi-site church in the Toronto area, has announced a shutting down of sorts amid its former pastor’s sexual misdeeds.

In a recent statement, The Meeting House leadership said the megachurch would close its doors for good, at least under the current name.

For more than two decades, The Meeting House has played an important role in the spiritual journey of thousands of people. At the heart of our church has been a desire to grow communities of Jesus followers who live and share His irreligious message of love and peace.

The Sun Is Doing Something It Is Not Supposed to Do, and Could Mean Big Trouble

The giant ball of fire that our planet revolves around has been far more active than scientists originally anticipated this year, and that could have very serious implications for all of us in the months ahead.

Fluctuations in solar activity affect our climate more than anything else does, and we also tend to see more earthquakes when solar activity is at elevated levels. The current solar cycle is supposed to reach a peak at some point during the next 12 months, but so far there are no signs that solar activity is slowing down. In fact, the average number of sunspots that we witnessed last month was the highest that we have seen since 2001.

The average number of sunspots reached 215.5 in August, according to the Solar Influences Data Analysis Center at the Royal Observatory in Belgium. It’s the highest number since Sept.-Dec. 2001, according to SpaceWeather.com. July’s total was 196.5. Last month, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued a preliminary statement that solar activity is at its highest since March 2001.
