Local author K.C. Stricker will be at La Grande Bible & Supply, 1120 Adams Ave., Thursday to give a book signing from 11 a.m. until at least 1 p.m. or as long as people come to see her. Stricker’s new book, “Coming Out of Egypt,” (593 pages. Resource Publications. $47.50) is historical fiction combined with academic teaching woven together in one book.
The story of Exodus is dovetailed with the life of Yeshua (Jesus). The story within “Coming out of Egypt” is not only that of an exodus of the out of the idolatry of ancient Egypt, but a personal exodus from the idolatry that permeates religion today.

When members of Calvary Chapel’s youth group headed out to Hot Lake Springs to do some work a few weeks ago, the last thing they thought they would come away with was a $9,000 David Manuel bronze sculpture.
“We did about $1,000 worth of work moving some carpet. When we finished, the Manuels told us we could take cash or pick out a bronze,” says Summer Steele.

Each piece of fabric and the overall pattern are carefully chosen, as well.
Some fabrics have a particularly special meaning to the quilter — cut from a long gone beloved grandmother’s apron or scraps left from a now grown child’s favorite dress.

 WHAT IS OUT THERE AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM? These are questions that will spark the live Stanford University debate "Atheism vs. Theism and The Scientific Evidence for Intelligent Design," live simulcast to be broadcast at 6 p.m. Sunday in the conference room at Valley Fellowship, 507 Palmer in La Grande. This picture of the Helix Nebula posted as NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day on May 10, 2003, quickly became an urban legend dubbed "The Eye of God." It is the closest example of a planetary nebula created at the end of the life of a sun-like star. It lies about 650 light-years away and spans about 2.5 light-years in size. The picture compromises images from the Hubble Space Telescope with wide-angle images from a telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. - PHOTO Courtesy National Aeronautics and Space Agency's Astronomy Picture of the Day
Does science point to a Creator?
The Church Communication Network and Motive Entertainment have
extended an invitation to "Atheism vs. Theism & The Scientific
Evidence for Intelligent Design," to be broadcast live via satellite
from Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

I don't remember the year, I don't remember whether it was
Christmas or her birthday and I don't remember which VeggieTale it was.
But as I sat and watched it with her, I remember thinking, "Wow! This
is different — this is really cool." And I've been hooked ever since.
