**The Glory House Revival Institute**
Upcoming Bible Training Course:
“In That Day” (Isaiah Chapters 24-27)
3 Tuesday Afternoons – February 4, 11, and 18
1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Location: 2390 Lasalle Line (corner of Brigden Road and Lasalle Line)
Course Description:
Buried in the book of Isaiah are 4 chapters some have called the “Apocalypse of Isaiah.” It is like a mini version of the book of Revelation. Isaiah speaks of the last days in many places throughout his book. But in chapters 24-27 he has some crucial and foundational declarations to make about what life will look like for God’s people and the world “in that day.”
That day is this day. Come and explore with us, in this Bible training course, what the prophecy of Isaiah tells us that the Lord has in store for the nations and his people in our day.
This is a Bible teaching course. This will be a study of revival. This will be a study of the last days through Isaiah’s eyes. The judgment and the glory of these days. The power being revealed. The spiritual harvest planned. The Holy Spirit outpouring that is soon to be upon us. Let’s get ready and be prepared. This is for anyone who would like to dig a little bit deeper into the coming revival in our region and how it intertwines with God’s prophetic promises for the nations “in that day.”
All registered attendees will receive a set of student notes for filling in. Bring a Bible and a pen. We would also encourage you to read the four chapters in Isaiah (chapters 24-27) prior to the first teaching session.
A minimum number of registrations are required to proceed, so please let us know ahead of time if you plan to attend. For more information or to register, please contact us by email at info@thegloryhouse.ca.
Note: There is no cost for this course, but if you would like to help cover the expenses of administration and gym rental, donations would be accepted to “The Glory House” (in person when on site for the course, or by Interac e-transfer to giving@thegloryhouse.ca).

BurlingtonGreen is pleased to be hosting another engaging and informative webinar with the wonderful, Bob Bell.
The Mystery of Bird Migration: Now You See Me, Now You Don’t!
In this talk, Bob Bell will discuss the amazing journeys many birds undertake twice a year, as they migrate back and forth between their northern breeding grounds and southern wintering grounds.
He will present theories of bird migration, beginning with the wild ideas of our ancient ancestors to our current understanding which uses modern technology to track bird travel in real time.
Bob will consider questions such as: WHY do some birds migrate? WHAT triggers it? WHEN do they go? WHERE do they go? HOW do they navigate? WHO undertakes the furthest annual trip, migrates at the highest altitude? What bird conducts the longest non-stop flight? Are there different kinds of migration or do all migrating birds act in the same way?
Also shared will be the many hazards and challenges that these remarkable creatures encounter and must deal with as they wing their way hundreds to thousands of kilometres along their travel routes.
Bob will conclude his talk with tips on where best to observe birds during spring and fall migration, along with some suggestions for further reading and information. We hope you can join us to gain a greater appreciation for the incredible feats carried out by the birds that surround us.

More about Bob Bell:
Bob Bell spent 35 years as a mineral exploration geologist before retiring to Ancaster in 2015. He quickly discovered that the area, with its multitude of habitats and environments, was fantastic for birding.
Bob is passionate about sharing the joy of birding with people of all skill levels and enjoys introducing them to the huge variety of beautiful birds that can be seen in the Hamilton and Burlington areas.
He hopes that his passion will inspire others to take in the sights and sounds of nature that surround us, and that this interest will translate into support and protection local birds.
