Reminder: Wine and Wisdom Jan. 10th

Event: Wine and Wisdom
Date: January 10, 2011, 7-9 p.m.
Topic: "I'm Spiritual, Not Religious": Does Church Still Matter?
Speaker: Rich Shively, Associate Director for Vocations and Seminarians
Location: deVine Wines, 15224 Main St. #107, Mill Creek, WA

In Western culture, and particularly in the Pacific Northwest, people often claim, "I'm spiritual, not religious." Are the two mutually exclusive? Do Church and religion still matter? Come join Rich Shively, Associate Director for Vocations and Seminarians, and other young adults as we discuss this topic. Discounted wine pours and appetizers will be available, but there is no charge for entry.

Merry Christmas!

"The angel said to [the shepherds], 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.'" - Lk. 2:8-14
Wishing you a beautiful Christmas.
