Well, you don't have to remember, but it would be great if you did:
While it's not that long since we put away the Christmas tree, time has a habit of marching on. Looking towards February, the season of Lent approaches. The 5 weeks of Lent provide a great time-frame to have a short-term discussion group...
Like the old Hollywood classics?
Fancy chewing the fat over some of life's big questions?
Our Lent discussion group will do both as we explore themes based on that great movie classic 'Casablanca'.
Why 'Casablanca'?
It has a lot to say about love, hope and sacrifice and we'll apply these themes as we look at the Christian faith and our lives today. Many of the themes (such as love, sacrifice, and hope) are universal, transcending place and time...and others (such as the topic of refugees and the theme of discplacement) are sadly still just as relevant in our war-torn world today as they were in the 1940's when 'Casablanca' was released.
When and where?
Sun 22 Feb, 3pm:
We kick off with an afternoon matinee viewing of 'Casablanca' in the Abington Church Hall - movie free, popcorn optional!
(and if you just want to come and watch the film without coming to the discussion groups, you're more than welcome!)
Thereafter, two groups meet over the 5 weeks of Lent at:
Crawford - from Tues 24 Feb at 2pm, in the Manse
Leadhills - from Thurs 26 Feb at 7.30pm in Hopetoun Arms Hotel.
What do you need?
A copy of the book 'A Beautiful Friendship' - let Nikki know you want a copy - she will bulk order.
Cost of the book is £5.99
