Theology of Faith: An Invitation to Education for Ministry (EfM) Movie Night:

Meet three theologians from the halls of academia through beautiful short films. They take off their robes and set their degrees aside to unveil their full humanity and struggles with their own faith. After each film join the EfM group as fellow theologians to discuss how their theology impacts our own.

We will have popcorn, candy, and drinks. We welcome anyone who enjoys fellowship with fellow faith seekers. Please be in touch with Beth Cavey or the parish office if you have questions or need more information.
