Connect - Solid Evidence for Faith in Christ

Does God exist? Can faith and science coexist? Is the Bible really true? Is Jesus really real? You'll find solid answers to those questions and more at Connect tonight, Tuesday, 9/17 at 6:00 pm (5:30 for pizzas) in Noble Hall 125. We'll also give everyone that comes a small booklet that will help you remember great answers to those questions.
