Church of Christ of Venice Bulletin


November 11, 2001	Volume 11, Number 45

Coming Soon ...

… a new program of outreach into our community entitled House to House / Heart to Heart. It is an 8-page bi-monthly magazine that presents the gospel of Christ in a very positive format. At present more than 750,000+ issues are being mailed with great success throughout the country.

We hope to begin an initial mailing of the magazine into our community in the very near future. (There are some sample issues on the table in the foyer.)

If you have a friend, neighbor or co-worker that lives in Charlotte or Sarasota Counties that you would like to have placed on the mailing list—please give us their name and address.

A Seminar That You Will Not Want To Miss ...

Which is the correct view of origins—evolution or creation?

Is organic evolution a "fact" of science?
Is creation a credible alternative?

What is the creationists' response to the alleged evidences for evolution? What are the scientific evidences supporting creation?

Does God exist? Is His existence provable? Is the Bible inspired by God?

If you would like to take an in-depth look at organic evolution versus creation; we invite you to attend a seminar we will be conducting on January 25-26, 2002. The seminar, titled Science & Nature: Two Votes for God, is an examination of both; organic evolution and special creation.

There is no charge whatsoever for the seminar. In addition, there will be free handout materials on the topics covered, as well as question and answer sessions after most lecture periods. Everyone is invited to attend. The speaker is Dr. Bert Thompson, former professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A & M, University. Join us as we investigate these important issues.
