Join us at Community of ChristChurch on the third Friday of the month at 6:30pm, for a series entitled, Movies that Matter. September is also the one year anniversary of Movies that Matter!
What happens at these meetups?
Each month we gather for a potluck supper and watch a film that matters to one of the group. Then, the person who picked the film will start off the conversation. If all goes well, we’ll talk a little about the film, a little about life, and a lot about what matters.
Here's some hints about the movie:
Copyright rules stipulate that we cannot advertise the name of the film in advance. In July we watched The Fountain together.
- Best Picture Nominee for 2017 Academy Awards
- Rotten Tomatoes says: In heartwarming, crowd-pleasing fashion, (this movie) celebrates overlooked -- and crucial -- contributions from a pivotal moment in American history
What you’ll need to participate…
Be at least 17 years old,
A potluck dish to share,
A love of movies!
Come celebrate this community based ministry initiative!
RSVP via Meetup.com here.

One of the many ways God's image is being revealed in us is through our creativity. Open Spirit Gallery is a newer ministry at Christchurch; one in which we seek to offer sacred space for the creative gifts of artists in and around our community.
By providing gallery space to local and regional artists we hope to support the creative process in our area and offer our neighbors the opportunity to enjoy these creative works in a casual and welcoming atmosphere.
About our new artist Sarah Moore:
I started drawing and painting when I was about 4 years old and with the encouragement from my parents I continued to develop my skill and style. Wanting to find a way to use art to help others, I studied Psychology and Art in my undergraduate work, and then recently received a Masters degree in Art Therapy. Studying Art Therapy has given me great insight as to how the act of creating art can be deeply healing. To me, there is an important connection found between God being creative, and us as reflections of Him and also creative. We find wholeness through abiding with Him, and to me this most certainly includes art.
My intentions of creating and sharing my artwork is in hopes that you may see how art matters and that it makes a difference in this world.
Artists Talk and Reception date will be announced very soon! |
