Potomac Activities Grow In Subject Matter, Size Potomac adult Sabbath school teachers learned techniques of teaching and how to make visual ma- terials at practical workshops held during April by Dr. Jack Dunham and Wayne Foster. Dunham will be back in June to teach a class for adult Sab- bath school students at camp meet- ing. The Biblical exposition class will revolutionize your study habits and enjoyment of the weekly Sabbath school lesson. Potomac's 1979 camp meeting will be the biggest ever held. So much is planned that two brochures are nec- essary this year to tell the whole story. A brochure mailed in April, "Harvest Time Seminars," lists 14 classes for which members can preregister. A May mailing will include the bro- chure, "Harvest Time Camp Meet- ing," with the rest of the camp meet- ing schedule. Potomac churches will be mailed extra copies of both bro- chures. Successful health fairs have been conducted by the Sligo and Vienna churches. Dr. Dave Kimbrough and students from CUC assisted at both Sunday events. Washington Adventist Hospital was involved at Sligo. Drs. William Brannon and David Ketha- vath, Rita Calhoun (health secretary), Nancy Kite, Delores Kinsey, Mrs. Van Tyler, Pastor Ben Plumb, plus nurses and other volunteers, worked in the Vienna program on March 18. The youth and earliteen Sabbath school classes of the Hampton church sponsored a senior citizens' party for members and the community on March 17.

One's Faith and Science Was Topic at Far Hills Dr. Theodore Agard, radiation physicist at Kettering Medical Center, recently gave a series of lectures at the Dayton Far Hills church titled "Science and the Christian Faith." He said that while the evolutionary theory appears to have a sound scientific structure, it actually rests on a base of popular, but questionable, assumptions. The Christian should not feel belittled by believing in Creation, because it requires more undemonstrable trust to believe the theory of evolution.
