Movie and Discussion – Coke Memorial and St. Paul UMC
Discussion: February 20, 1:00pm, via Zoom
On February 20, Coke Memorial UMC and St. Paul UMC will have a joint virtual event as we continue to build relationships and understanding. We will have a discussion about the movie, A Question of Faith, which addresses the themes of forgiveness, justice, mercy, prayer, racial tension, and the life-giving interconnections we all share.
You are invited to view the movie at your convenience before the February 20 discussion. The movie is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and other platforms for $3.99.
Optional viewing opportunity: St. Paul will share the video via Zoom on Friday, February 19 at 7:00pm. (Be sure to have a box of tissues handy!)
On Saturday, February 20 at 1:00pm, everyone is invited to a Zoom discussion of the themes of the film. Guiding questions and prompts will be offered. As we seek unity and healing in a time of divisiveness, our shared faith provides the way forward. (You are welcome to join the discussion even if you have not seen the movie.)
