Free Lecture: Is there REALLY a God?
By events - 2/2/2013 Date of event Tomorrow, Feb 3rd at 7 PM
Location of event on UBC Campus

Is there REALLY a GOD? How can I know for sure?

Come to a free Lecture to find out for yourself. Held at Carey College (Main Entrance) 5920 Iona Drive, on UBC Campus.

Sunday, February 3 at 7:00 p.m.

We will explore the evidence for the existence of God.

Evolutionists would have us believe that they have proven that all things have evolved and there is no need for a god to have created us. This could not be farther from the truth.

In this seminar, we will explore four universally accepted Scientific Laws that make evolution impossible and show that there has to be a very intelligent and powerful Creator.

Presented by St. Paul Ev. Lutheran Mission in Vancouver. For more information: see our web site at stpaulvernon.org

Everyone welcome!
Wheelchair accessible.

Psychology Salon: Out of the Blue - The Nature and Treatment of Clinical Depression
By events - 1/31/2013 Date of event Tuesday, March 26, 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Location of event Central Library, 350 W. Georgia St., Alice MacKay Room, Lower Level

Depression is one of the most significant public health challenges in Canada. It is, by some measures, the single largest cause of long-term disability in the country. But what is it, exactly?  What causes it?  Is it really just a biochemical imbalance? And, most importantly, how do we treat it? What can someone do on their own to prevent or help overcome the problem? In this talk psychologist and author Dr Randy Paterson sheds light on a complex disorder, and on some basic self-care strategies that turn out to be surprisingly potent.  

Free admission. Seating is limited.
Co-sponsored by Changeways Clinic.
