Why Does the World Exist?

Why Does the World Exist? A New Conversation Starts at Men’s Fellowship
Big questions. Good conversation. Strong coffee. The Men’s Fellowship Group at St. Michael’s gathers every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. for fellowship and thoughtful discussion—no prior Bible knowledge required, just an open mind and a willingness to explore faith and life together.
A new book is beginning: “Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story” by Jim Holt — a fascinating exploration of one of life’s biggest questions: why is there something rather than nothing? With curiosity, humor, and insight, Holt investigates the mystery of existence by engaging scientists, philosophers, and thinkers from around the world.
Come as you are, bring your questions, and discover where the conversation leads.
