Community Outreach
Free Screening
of "The Calling"
Tuesday, Dec. 28th
6:00 PM
Long Beach Main Library
An 80 minute version of the four hour film will be shown including an after show invitation to engage with a prestigious panel, including two of the film's stars, Rob Pene and Shmuly Yanklowitz.
The Calling is a four-hour documentary series that follows seven Muslims, Catholics, Evangelical Christians, and Jews on a dramatic journey - training to become professional clergy. A new look at an old job, The Calling takes viewers into the unknown world of seminaries to tell entertaining and compelling personal stories of how faith is lived today.
Long Beach Public Library and Long Beach Central Area Association present Community Cinema each month with a discussion and Q&A session following each screening.

Parking Lot Ettiquette
Please remember to be courteous and careful in the parking lot. There has been a report of a door hitting another car and not leaving a note. Since some of the parking spots are very narrow, it is especially important to use caution when opening your doors. Thank you.
