A Place at the Table
Summer is rolling on and so are our movies. And what would we do without some kind of “Christmas in July” celebration. On Tuesday July 16th at 1:30 we will be watching a delightful movie – The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. The movie is both touching and moving, as it tells the story of the Herdmans – “not the kids one usually expects to take part in a play, but this year they decided they belong in the pageant. Some of the town people think instead they belong in the care of the local police. But when the curtain finally goes up, a miracle begins – and it all turns into “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” We are thinking this would be a great intergenerational movie, so please invite your grandchildren or neighbor kids to come watch with you. We hope with school out some of Westminster’s kids will be here as well
On Tuesday, August 13th at 1:30 we will be showing the documentary A Place at the Table. a documentary focusing on hunger and food insecurity, a problem being tackled right now here at Westminster as we opened our expanded food pantry. In this film, the focus is on the small town of Collbran, Colorado, a western, rural land comprised of humble, desperate folk who are struggling to make ends meet. We see a church organization member recall how when he started serving hot meals to the public, where anyone can come and eat for free, on Wednesday night, an unprecedented eighty to one-hundred and twenty people showed up. It was a large indication that many people in Collbran were not just desperate for frivolous things, but for something they can't live without. This film then expand to other cities here in the United States that suffers from food insecurity, maybe some like ours – Bay City, MI.
Back by popular demand we will be showing Part Two of the Anne of Green Gables series. We will gather at 6 PM on Wednesday evenings – July 10th and July 24th. In Anne of Green Gables “The Sequel” we watch Anne making the transition from a high school graduate to an adventurous and accomplished teacher. As we did last year we will share a light summer meal while we watch the movie in Fellowship Hall. Please feel free to bring your own lawn chairs for comfortable viewing.
