This program will cover the ecology of most of the well-known predators that range through our woods, fields, and back yards, and will discuss some of the threats to their existence. Some of the more common, wide-ranging species will be looked for during our field session on Saturday the 10th of February by virtue of their tracks, scat, and other sign.

The first phase of our newly initiated ‘appreciative inquiry’ will include multiple forms of engagement: focus group meetings, a community survey, and several full community discovery and visioning sessions, facilitated by a professional consultant.
    • We’ll ‘explore the best of what is’ in our church today, and then build from those strengths and emerging opportunities to imagine our future. The community planning activities of the coming few months will become the basis of our church’s long term strategic plan, we hope your voice will be included!
