"Love and Other Redemption:
Spirituality and Film Part 2"
The Rev. Doug Wadkins, and special musical guests
the Bloomington Chamber Singers
One of the most complicated and meaningful human experiences is our capacity to give and receive love. We know, of course, that film has explored this topic in an infinite number of ways. This service will share some of the ways that film may help us encounter the soulful side of love.
|
Note: With all of the film series, while none of the clips are chosen to be shocking or overly intense, sometimes people experience film moments with powerful emotion. If this is a particularly sensitive or difficult time, please feel free to make decisions about whether this would be a good set of services for you to attend. If you have questions, check in with Rev. Wadkins. Generally speaking, Rev. Wadkins hopes to see you there!

Film & Spirituality News:
I will publish the films that were used in each of the Sunday's Film series services here in the Friday Update. Also, I invite you to send me a recommendation of a film you have seen that had particular resonance in exploring deeper themes in life. I will compile a list to share with the entire congregation. Let me know if it is alright to share your name with the recommendation.
- Reverend Douglas Wadkins

Come and learn gumboot dancing with Ellyn Barham in Fellowship Hall.Gumboots is an African step dance that found life in the mines of South Africa. Miners traveled from different parts of Africa to find work in the mines. Despite language barriers and harsh work conditions, Gumboots was used as a way for miners to communicate and uplift each other. A variety of African cultural dances have been fused into this high energy dance. More info and videos may be found at the facebook event page HERE. (all ages are welcome)
