Film Nights at City Grace and Revolution

Some Christian churches and colleges frown upon anything secular and advise their followers to abstain from Hollywood movies. That outlook is starting to change these days, as more leaders are using film as a way to create dialogue. Today, two churches are showing two very different films for your viewing pleasure.

City Grace is showing the somewhat-dark comedy Little Miss Sunshine as part of their first-ever indie movie night. It will be at 7 PM at their usual church location of 219 Sullivan Street. There will be free food, and a discussion will follow.

Revolution will be showing the documentary Mountain Top Removal:

We here at Revolution continue to follow Jesus' prayer of "On earth, as it is in Heaven" not only in the work of human rights but also in the work of taking care of God's creation. This month, we will host another film screening educating us on environmental issues. The film is called Mountain Top Removal- it is a documentary about coal mining in the Appalachia Mountain region. Some of the negative impacts of coal mining on the environment are highlighted, including the geological changes that occur and result in flooding and pollution and the impact these practices have on the people living there. The screening will be at The Lazy Catfish (593 Lorimer St, Brooklyn, NY) on Sunday, February 8th at 7pm. Suggested donation is $10 (to benefit Revolution and Haw River Films).

Along these lines, we will start a new Bible study this month based on the newly published Green Bible, which has verses pertaining to the environment highlighted in green.

Please post below if you go to either of the screenings. It would be great to hear what was discussed at both of these film nights.
