Photo Exhibit Reception with Dr. Wilkinson! 3/1 @ 7pm

You are invited to the photo exhibit reception hosted by the library in celebration of Dr. Curt Wilkinson’s macrophotography exhibit, "God in the Details.” The universe and the heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19), but His glory is equally declared on the macro and microscopic level. This macrophotography exhibit was produced as a humble homage to the work and vision of Irwin Moon and the on-going legacy of the Moody Institute of Science. The details of creation reveal not only evidence of intelligent design, but a God who revels in demonstrating His beauty even on a level we fail to see.

12 macro images magnify the wonder of the eye and its marvelous expression in creation.

The Skis will provide musical entertainment and Catering will provide refreshments. We hope to see you there!

Another way would be to tune in to PBS tonight to watch the American Experience production about Bill Clinton. PBS.org: "Premiering February 20th and 21st, a biography of a president who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in modern American history, and one of the most complex and conflicted characters to ever stride across the public stage." Whether or not you agree, tune in to learn more about this important presidency.
