CineSpirit
Throughout history, stories have carried our spirituality - they are the primary ways we communicate about God, the universe, the human condition, and so forth. Today, film has become our primary storytelling method, making it fertile soil for our own spiritual and emotional exploration.
Join us for a 7-week film and spirituality series, inviting people of all backgrounds to explore central spiritual themes through thoughtfully selected films that engage the heart and mind. Hosted at a variety of locations around our city, each session includes a screening of the film and then a post-film discussion designed to spark meaningful dialogue, encouraging participants to reflect on transformative stories of crisis, change, forgiveness, and hope. Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply curious about life's deeper questions, this series offers a welcoming space to connect and grow together.
