Fall 2021 Movie Series

Rooted in Love: Eradicating Systemic Poverty

For Fall quarter (September, October, November, and December) look forward to a movie series, Rooted in Love: Eradicating Systemic Poverty.

First, watch the movie in the comfort of your own home. The movies are available from various sources, including the church. Contact the office to borrow a movie, with the exception of Rosie, for a two-day period.

Second, join the Adult Discipleship Committee for a discussion of the movie. The discussions are scheduled for 12N on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, via Zoom.  That gives you time to get home, get your lunch and join the discussion. Please feel free to join the discussions even if you have not watched the movie– your contribution will matter! 

Each movie portrays a different face of poverty. We’ll begin each discussion by considering these questions: What are the solutions to each situation? Are there solutions?
