Film Forum

The Friday Film Forum is a welcoming, relaxed gathering of film lovers who come together on the third Friday of each month at 6 PM in the sanctuary. Following the movie, the group circles up and an engaging and respectful discussion ensues where everyone’s insights and perspectives are valued.

Participants bring a brown bag dinner and often share a small treat or tidbit. The monthly films are chosen by group census and vary in topic.   Discussion time is facilitated by different people each month.

More than just a movie night, the forum is a space for connection, curiosity, fellowship, and the simple joy of experiencing stories together.
