DINNER 'N DIALOGUE


















DINNER N' DIALOGUE

When? Saturday Evening, October 10th 2009 from 6 to 8 PM

Where? CSF Center
1337 Cleveland Ave N
St. Paul, MN 55108

What? We will have a dinner talk on human origin and purpose followed by discussion.

Why? How you answer this question is based on the answer to the question of human origin, where do we come from? Some say that you are a product of random chance and long years of natural selection. If that is true, what does that say about your personal value, the meaning of your life today, and about your expectations for the future? Others believe that we are the creation of an all-powerful, loving God. Would that make any difference in the way we view ourselves, others, and our world?

Email Dennis or Mary Ann if you have questions: heydennis@csf.net, heymaryann@csf.net
