Vineyard Christian Fellowship in the Chapel	Tim Cogovan or Deb Harris 377-1477 hiking@ letstendthegarden.org Please sign up in advance by calling or emailing.	Taught by Ruth Ward, of "Survival and Outdoor Safety". Go beyond just surviving an unexpected wilderness emergency and actually learn how to thrive instead. Learn how you, even with very limited skill levels, can avoid getting into life-threatening survival situations by carrying a survival kit that will easily fit in your back pockets and, provide all of the tools necessary to build a quick, surprisingly simple, and more than adequate emergency shelter, start fires in virtually any weather conditions, and help rescuers find you in the shortest possible time.
Environmental Stewardship Conference [More]	September 20-21	Vineyard Christian Fellowship	Emily Hopping 377-1477 Sign up for email updates.	Learn how you can make environmental stewardship a part of your ministry or organization. Our second annual conference will again discuss why this value needs to be promoted in the church and practical ways to do it with a new focus on the effects on people particularly in developing countries. Participate in an optional local outreach to experience hands-on applications.
