Join us for our Wednesday evening discovery series and learn about the world...things we were never taught in
         school because they had not yet been discovered.  Over the past several decades, some amazing discoveries
         have been made about our ancient world.  Often we have discussions after the films and sometimes we have
         delicious snacks.  We are never to old to learn new things.
