Movie opportunity – Tuesday, January 23 at 4 pm OR 7 pm, West Acres Cinema

A new documentary film will have its initial showing all across the country on January 23.  “A Case for Love” is a heartfelt yet personally challenging movie inspired by the teachings and writings of our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry. The film examines whether or not love–specifically unselfish love–is the solution to the extreme societal and political divide facing the U.S. 

If you’d like to join a group from St. Stephen’s to see the movie, contact Amy Phillips (kaphillip@gmail.com) or Sandy Holbrook (slholbrook41@gmail.com) by January 14.  Be sure to indicate your preference for the 4pm or the 7 pm showing.  Ticket price is $14. Those who express interest will be notified by January 17 regarding how many individuals signed up for each showing and those individuals can, if they wish, coordinate online ticket purchase and seating with others going at the same time.
