SCNP Certificate Elective: Opening Your World Through Nature Journaling with Gale McKinley
Sep 22 @ 1:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Hayden Conference Center

A nature journal is a place to record our observations of the natural world and to reflect on them. Sketching allows us to slow down enough to see nature in a whole new way, to improve our power of observation, and to stimulate curiosity. By improving our sketching skills with a few simple methods, you will become a more attentive naturalist and improve your ability to capture the living beauty of the seasons. Gale McKinley is a winner of the South Carolina Arts Commission Jean Laney Harris award for her split oak basket making and an artist by profession. She draws on her time in the natural world to inspire not only her paintings and drawings, but also her longtime hobbies as an herbalist, naturalist, split oak basket maker, and nature journal writer. Bring your favorite color pencils or water color supplies. Basic Botany is a pre-requisite for this class. If you are interested in this class, but not the certificate, please contact Sue Watts, [email protected]

In this 5-hour DVD-based training you will learn about offering hope, help, and love to people entering abortion facilities. You will be provided with a workbook and with materials to help you get started with prayer and advocacy at the abortion facility. Our goal is to fill all the hours that the facility is opened with at least 2 people there praying and sharing hope, care, and love with those who enter. Is God calling you to this incredible ministry and mission that is so close to His heart? Come to this training and find out! Either way, you will be more equipped to speak to women and men you may meet anywhere who are facing an unplanned pregnancy and to pray for those of us who go out to the abortion facility regularly to share Jesus’ Love, Truth, and Hope!
