CANADIAN MENNONITE UNIVERSITY (CMU) WINNIPEG, MANITOBA

CMU launches new Centre for Career and Vocation The Centre for Career and Vocation’s mission is “to equip members of the CMU community to purposefully connect calling, courses and career through curriculumintegrated academic and vocational advising, experiential and work-integrated learning, and encouraging interdisciplinary exploration and creativity.” Launched March 1 the Centre for Career and Vocation brings together three areas – career development and vocational discernment, practicum/work-integrated learning, and vocation-centred advising and curriculum. In terms of student support, it will provide students with career advising and resources through individual appointments, workshops and peer coaching, as well as offer for-credit courses in career development. Additionally, the centre will work to support faculty and staff to develop a common framework for vocational advising and curriculum development. All these activities will be supported through ongoing research to enhance programming. The work-integrated learning, or practicum, program has always been integral to CMU, which is the only school in Canada that requires all its undergraduate students to complete a work-integrated learning placement to graduate. It is these opportunities that help students weave together their learning in the classroom with their interests outside it.

CAPERNWRAY HARBOUR BIBLE SCHOOL

THETIS ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA Prepared for service Nestled among the Gulf Islands off British Columbia’s West Coast, Capernwray Harbour Bible Centre on Thetis Island offers students a unique learning experience. From September through April, Capernwray Harbour runs a One-Year Bible School program where sound, practical Bible teaching focusing on both the Old and New Testament scriptures in which God reveals the indwelling, resurrected Christ as the Christian life is given. Students gain an experiential knowledge of Christ and how His presence practically applies to daily living. Through classroom studies, tutorials, dialogue-based small group studies and summary journals, the student body of approximately a hundred men and women of various backgrounds, nationalities and denominations have the opportunity to share from the written Word what God is teaching them and how He is working in their lives. Many outreach opportunities located in surrounding communities and cities are available for students to participate as restrictions allow. The student body joins the full-time staff team whose desire is to prepare each student for “full-time Christian service, regardless of occupation.” This year, with limited space, there’s also an Online Bible School opportunity for those who aren’t able to travel to hear and respond to the teaching of the Word from the classroom.

REGENT COLLEGE

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA Standing firm in troubled times It’s been a tough year – there’s no denying it. And it’s not just the pandemic. The last 12 months have been full of challenges. Failing elder care. Political unrest. Economic instability. And a radical rise in loneliness, anxiety and uncertainty. The cracks in the systems around us are starting to show, and we’re all looking for meaning and sense in the chaos. We know Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. As we deal with a changing world, how can we root ourselves in that unchanging reality? What does it take to cultivate a thriving faith when the world we know is shaken? And how do we explain what we believe in a culture that seems to be coming apart at the seams? This summer we’ll be dealing with these big questions at Regent. Join us as we dive into Scripture, prayer, and some of the hot button issues impacting the Church right now, from the challenge of caring for people with dementia to the thorny question of gender and the hard work of responding to racial divides. Tune into our live online courses as we work through the tough questions together. Learn more at:
