Abortion Based on Evolution
with Dr. Jerry Bergman

MCF South!
Would you be interested in meetings in the area south of Chicago, rather than having to drive to Carol Stream or Lindenhurst?
Over the years, a few people have said they would like to see MCF meetings closer to the south of Chicago, but so far, no one has had the time and energy to make it happen. But there is now an MCF member who is seeking to start
"MCF-South"!
If you're interested in attending meetings at an "MCF South" location, please email mcfsouth@midwestcreationfellowship.org. Or call the Sivertsens' residence at 847-223-4730, and we'll get you in contact with the
organizer. And if you could help in any way (such as bringing refreshments, chair set up, clean up, finding a place to meet, handing out flyers, making sure the A/V equipment works, etc.), please let us know!
THANKS!
Anytime! Take an MCF printable guide to the Chicago Field Museum's Evolving Planet Exhibit
Take your family or group to the Field for the "Evolving Planet" exhibit! You can go anytime by yourselves, or go alone and have a follow-up meeting with an MCF speaker, to debrief your group. Click the link for more info, including 2 downloadable booklets to help you think about the exhibits from a scientific/creationist perspective. Answers in Genesis also has a good article on the Evolving Planet exhibit. We have 2 download guides that you can take with you:
1: Critical Thinking Guide. Trifold brochure in high resolution: 2MB, so it prints nicely, but downloads slowly, OR try the 247KB version, which downloads faster but doesn't print as nicely.
2. Evolution: Fact or Fiction by Jim Orme. 34 pages, 8-1/2"x11": 1.4MB
