FREE FILM SERIES: STRONG WOMEN OF FAITH

With women’s rights in recent news, under fire by some who call themselves Christians, we thought it would be timely to show four films about strong women of the Christian faith. Curated by Eric David, these four films were released in the last few years. Interestingly, none of them are typical faith-based films, yet they all take the religious faith of the female characters seriously, as they navigate a patriarchal world and church. Join us! Wednesdays, September 11 - October 2. Popcorn and fellowship at 6 pm, film at 6:30 pm sharp! Discussion after the film.
