REEL Sanctuary


 

   
                                     J.R. Eyerman/LIFE
 

REEL Sanctuary is a ministry that combines watching films with discussions about their spiritual implications. Its main purpose is to encourage spiritual discernment in and through the main storytelling medium of our time. We do not always support the views in the films that we see, but our purpose is to prepare ourselves to dialogue with each other and those we may encounter. “We need to look as Christians at the stories that contemporary culture is telling us by learning how to discern and evaluate perspectives in these representations of life in God’s world.” (taken from Eyes Wide Open: Looking for God in Popular Culture,” by William D. Romanowski).

Reel Sanctuary will not be meeting in April. Our next gathering time will be Saturday, May 17 to see "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian." (Note that this is the third Saturday in May). Karyn will send out an email closer to the date with theater, time, and discussion information. Thanks and see you at the movies!


If you have any questions, want to be added to the email list or want more details about this ministry, contact Karyn Miller (reelsanctuary@yahoo.com) or John Shaver (pastorjohn@christumc.net) at the church.
