Russ Miller– June Speaker for Maricopa and Pima Divisions

Russ Miller spent 18 years developing a nationwide firm.  A church trustee and theistic evolutionist at the time, he saw a creation speaker in 1998.  Russ says, “there are 3 types of folks; those that make it happen; those that watch it happen; and those that don’t know what just happened.”  He gave away his business and begun Creation Evolution Science Ministries (CESM) which shares Godly edifying, life-changing information thru dynamic presentations.  You’re invited to visit www.creationministries.org.

50 Facts Compared to Biblical Accounts: How Scripture holds up to man’s discoveries impacts whether people place their trust in God’s Word. Russ takes Biblical teachings, from both the Old and New Testaments, and compares them to scientific facts. Designed to be both fun and faith-inspiring, Russ reveals that God’s Word is authoritative and trustworthy for guiding our lives, Word for Word and cover to cover.  Please click HERE for Maricopa Division details or HERE for Pima Division details.

AzOSA Grand Canyon Bus Tour Needs YOU!

The Saturday, June 12 AzOSA field trip has not sold enough seats to break even.  If you have contemplated going, PLEASE sign up ASAP!  We have committed to this and do not want to loose money on it.  It is a wonderful experience.  The full day trip includes a color booklet of local geological facts and evidence supporting a global flood, DVDs on the luxury coach bus, three stops on the canyon rim, a short hike to see “Secret fossils”, and a stop at the IMAX Grand Canyon Theater.  Park-and-ride at Anthem saves you the drive up to Camp Verde or Flagstaff.  The scenery is fantastic and the information presented radically different than what is offered by the Park Service.  The trip, including admission to the Park, is only $85 per person or a family package of 3 tickets for $245 (other packages available).  For details click HERE

Grand Canyon Raft Trip July 10

Not everyone can go on a 3 or 7-day raft trip in the Grand Canyon, so here’s the next best thing – a ½ day raft trip starting at Glen Canyon Dam at Page, Arizona, and floating 15 scenic miles downstream to historic Lee’s Ferry!  AzOSA has chartered the entire raft, so don’t miss out!  Jim Clarke, AzOSA Resident Geologist, will be on hand to discuss the area’s geology.  This event is “kid friendly” for ages 4 and up!  We have sold 14 of 22 seats for the raft trip and if we don’t fill the raft, we must forfeit our exclusive charter and will have to cancel the trip.  If we sell over 22 seats, the raft company will add a 2nd raft with no minimum charge,  Click HERE for details.
