On Sat, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov 15, Burlington will have the opportunity to experience fully illustrated messages confirming God's Divine Design, and pointing out the holes in the "theory" of evolution.

These sessions can help anchor families, teens and college students in the truth of "creation" and the Bible, as they face "evolution" teaching in the schools and in our society.

First Assembly of God in Burlington will be hosting this seminar, which will have sessions Saturday evening, 6:30 and 7:30 pm; Sunday morning, 9:30 and 10:30 am; and again Sunday evening, 6:30 and 7:30 pm.

Dave and Mary Jo Nutting, the founders and directors of Alpha Omega Institute, a 25-year Creation Ministry headquartered in Colorado, will be here in person presenting this seminar.

Dave Nutting is a former evolutionist, with advanced degrees in mathematics and geology. He became a creationist after studying the scientific issues.

Mary Jo has a M.S. degree in biology, and has taught at the high school and college level.

They both are excellent communicators, and bring a clear message even children will understand.

More local information will be coming next week, including posters and bulletin inserts, but just wanted to give you this "heads up" for you November calendars.
