| Last Minute Invitation:Join us at Malco Grandview Cinema tomorrow night, (Thursday, February 8) to see the movie "Origin." It is based on a book we read together as a church family, "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents", by Isabel Wilkerson.
This powerful film grapples with some of the ways we continue to rank human value, separate people, and what keeps us divided. It will certainly raise more awareness of these issues, spark important questions we need to ask and begin conversations we need to have.
The movie starts at 7 pm. Meet us in front of Malco at 6:40 pm.

| More Wednesday Night Opportunities: As part of our wisdom of scripture worship series, we want to provide space for conversation around questions you may have coming from scripture. Is there a story that has always stumped you? Do you have something you have always wanted to ask? Well, here is your chance. Two of our Wednesday nights, Feb 21 and 28, will be devoted to conversation around your questions.
Please submit your questions HERE by Monday, February 19. Be sure to
• keep your questions specific to scripture passages, and
• reference the passage when you send in your question.
Our youth will join us both nights for scripture questions. Bridge may join us to build Beds for Kids February 21 and will have a game night February 28, and kids 4th and under will have an art night February 21 and drama night February 28.
Following our nights of scripture questions, we will have another chance to be in conversation. This time, reflecting on the book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held-Evans. Purchase a book, begin reading, and join us Wednesday, March 6 for discussion. Bridge and youth will build Beds for Kids and our kids 4th and under will have game night.
