Diane Larkins and Darlene Westbrook – Sheridan, Wyoming … The Sheridan Seventh-day Adventist Church invited “Creation Truth” from Noble, Oklahoma to present a series on “Creation vs. Evolution,” September 29-October 1. (With a traveling museum loaded with life-sized dinosaurs and fossils for the community to view, the presentations covering the six-day literal Creation week, the flood in Noah’s day, and the amazing handiwork of God through astronomy were well illustrated.
A large supply of books were available for children and adults on the topics presented.
Some 30 guests attended. Among them was a customer of Better Life Natural Foods, a store operated by the Sheridan church. At the outset, she said she could only come the first night, but she continued to come, attending for all three nights, and bringing three friends with her. Five other customers from the store also attended.
A Christian scientist gentleman wandered in as the displays were being taken down, packed up and moved into the trailer. He had been taught in his science classes that creation took place over long periods of time. The museum and lectures meant a sharing time of biblical truths that added up to the literal six-days of Creation.
A woman and her son attended one night, expressing her wish that she had come each night. During time spent with her, it was obvious her life was tumultuous. It gave opportunity to pray with her for healing of her past hurts and give her hope for the future.
The event continued Sabbath with Matt Miles, director of Creation Truth Foundation, who spoke at the Sheridan Church for the worship hour. During a sermon entitled “Our World View,” he detailed how our Christian worldview should be shaped by Scripture, changing the way we think, act, live and believe. The congregation was blessed and energized.
Would the Sheridan church welcome them back another time? The answer was “Yes, yes, absolutely!”
