Film can open up worlds for us, exploring complex issues, and making space for us to imagine the world differently. During Advent we'll be watching four films and reflect upon the intersections of our faith and the stories these movies tell. Each week watch the film on your own and then join our Zoom conversation on Sunday night. Message us for a Zoom link.
