GET READY FOR AT THE MOVIES

Movies speak to our circumstances, connect us to one another, and inspire us to action. But there’s more we can learn from them. During At the Movies, we’ll look at films in a whole new way. It all starts this July! See what it’s like: https://life.church/atthemovies

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
Some of our most meaningful growth happens when we hear someone else’s story. During Book Club, we’ll get fresh insights and practical ideas for living with confidence and purpose.
