DON’T QUIT NOW
You've had questions all your life. Try as you will,
you can’t shake them. Where did we come from? --
where are we going? -- what is the point? - why try?
-- where did all the ugliness and pain come from? --

There are answers. They aren't easy, but they are
true.

ARE WE GOD?

As a culture, we play at God -- with the unborn, the
ageing, our environment. As individuals, we seek
greater and greater personal power, freedom and
awareness. And yet, never before has there been so
many broken people in the world.

WHATS GONE WRONG?

We risk destruction on many fronts. Our damaged
environment threatens to give up on us, accident and
negiect threatens a nuclear or chemical catastrophy,
the angry, greedy and oppressed nations of the world
threaten war. We are dying of cancer, alcohol and
drugs; mental illness is epidemic, suicide nearly so;
life has been robbed of value, purpose and meaning.

WHO CAN YOU BLAME?

Anger and frustration are often the keynotes of our
lives. Frustration with a world we can hardly cope
with, let alone control, and anger at a society that no
longer seems to care

WHO DO YOU LOVE?

Our culture ts obsessed with love -- but if is often a
selfish, grasping kind of love. Marmages are dissolv-
ing. relationships fail, fmends dnft apart. We even
learn to fear and mistrust ourselves

YOU BET YOUR LIFE!

Events are sweeping us along - passive non
involvement is no longer possible We are driven by
hungers — to satisfy them we devour the world, each
other and ourselves We all msk being swallowed up
Satisfaction for our hungers, answers to our ques
fons aren | opthonal anymore. they are essential

Vancouver Presbytenan Church will be explor
ing these hunpers Musto and drama will add
and Ken Blue will talk about

and their satisfactions in God
