Finding Jesus at the Movies


December 18, 2013

The life of Jesus and the imitation of Christ ripple all through popular culture, shaping music, literature and film. On Wednesday, November 20, we will begin a monthly movie series focused on literal or metaphoric representations of Jesus in the movies. We will gather and lay out snacks, savory or sweet, to share at 6pm, beginning the movies at 6:30. None of the movies chosen run over 2 hours, so we'll begin sharing our insights by 8:30 and finish by 9. Revs. Jeanne Knepper and Tim Winslea will co-lead the discussions.

The list of movies we will share is flexible, so if you have an idea of a great movie to watch together and discuss, please put it forward. At this time, the list contains Jesus Christ Superstar, Life of Brian, Babette's Feast, The Apostle, and Superman. Plan to join us, third Wednesdays, Fellowship Hall, for enjoyable and challenging discussions about how we understand Christ.
