@arochamanitoba is back with their weekly Advent r @arochamanitoba is back with their weekly Advent reflections! Follow along and prepare for Christmas—the day all creation sings. . . . #Repost @arochamanitoba • • • • • • Advent 1 🌟 {hope} "What if hope isn't really, or at least, not fundamentally, a thing to possess? What if hope is instead a self-involving way of being that is animated by an affirmation of the goodness of this life? Or a practiced way of life, rooted in the conviction that this life is beautiful and worth cherishing, defending, and celebrating?” - Norman Wirzba I was inspired by this idea in a recent lecture I listened to by Norman Wirzba. How often do we, in hopes of an easy answer, act like hope is something you can find at the grocery store, rather than a practice that must be cultivated? In what ways can you practice hope for creation this advent season? Check out Wirzba's full lecture on Youtube at the link in our bio. . . . #caringforcreation #earthkeeping #Godscreation #faith #christmas #arocha #ARochaManitoba #arochacanada #creationcare #conservation #environmentalstewardship #advent2022 #advent #hope

A major grant from the Bulkley Valley Community Fo A major grant from the Bulkley Valley Community Foundation was recently given to support our Northern BC Project in Houston! 🐟☀️🌲 Read on for more details in an article by Houston Today—🔗 in bio! The grant "is financing the conversion of an outdoor space into an indoor space at the Buck Creek Canfor Hatchery and Nature Centre in Houston." “We are thrilled to receive these funds as they will allow the centre to offer year-round programming as well as more functional (and quiet) office space for staff,” said Sarah Sutton who is the communications and administrative assistant at the hatchery. "So far this year the Hatchery and Nature Centre held a spring break camp for children, conducted its annual bird bioblitz count in May, released coho salmon fry in June as part of its ongoing hatchery program and held nature camps in July and August." . . . @arochanbc #arocha #arochabc #arochanorthernbc #arochanbc #houstontoday #bulkleyvalleycommunityfoundation #houstonhatchery #houstonnaturecentre #naturecentre #environmentaleducation #conservation #community
