SUMMARY:Avian Impressions from St. Vital Park (Birding)
DESCRIPTION:There’s more to birds than meets the eye; bird “watching” is only a half baked pie! Marvel at not only the sights and sounds of migratory birds\, but also reflect on the lands and calendars of their sojourning (from Argentina to Texas to Shamattawa and everything in between). Mark Huebert will guide us through a place that is close to his heart – St. Vital Park – where he has spent probably hundreds of hours since his childhood being impressed by the intricacy and grandeur of God’s creation.  Let us experientially contemplate together that “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it; the world\, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24.1) \nLOCATION: St. Vital Park (we will gather just inside the park gate) \nBRING: Dress for the weather (it’s chilly in the mornings)\, footwear that can get dirty\, binoculars (if you have or can borrow some)\, bird book (optional) \nPREP (optional): “Merlin Bird ID” app – it’s free. Add “Canada East” pack (also free).  http://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/ \nMark Huebert flew to Malaysia to win the hand of his lovebird (and wife) Neena.  They have two nestlings\, ages 6 and 8. Mark grew up in St. Vital and while earning his way through university spent about 5 months (over 5 different years) doing bird monitoring work in the boreal forests of southern Manitoba. During this time he also developed an appreciation for wildflowers\, insects and other creatures that share the land with us. Mark currently is a teacher at The King’s School.

SUMMARY:Café A Rocha (Winnipeg\, MB)

In addition to annual dialogue events\, participants are currently working to bring some of these conversations into a book project.

SUMMARY:Talking About Ticks (Morden\, MB)

SUMMARY:Of Things Unseen (Winkler\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Our world is full of mystery and the more we learn about it\, the more questions we seem to have. Looking out into the expanses of space\, we know there is much we cannot and may never see. Even looking at the finer details of our world\, such as the hidden connections within our ecosystems\, reveals how much we have yet to see. \nElmer Joy\, a part of the A Rocha team in Manitoba and a former professor of the Old Testament\, will be our guide to this rarely noticed and unseeable world. In learning about these things unseen we will experience awe and wonder\, much like a person might experience looking at a beautiful vista. We will also develop a deeper appreciation for creation and creator. \nHe will cover a diversity of subjects\, but will give special attention to trees\, including the unseen community they share. \nJanuary 23rd\, 2018\n 7:30pm-9:30pm\nCovenant Mennonite Church \n363 8th Street\, Winkler\n \n
