We're doing something we've never done before at The Downtown Church. It's something that aligns with our vision, our goals, and our culture. It's something that helps us intersect with our community and neighbors. And it's something that I hope will inspire you to be even more involved in the world around you as we live out our faith everyday.
We are hosting a movie! More specifically, a documentary, at the Moxie Cinema. It's a film called Join or Die and it's all about the rise and fall of social connections in America, and what we can do about it going forward. Social Capital, that is the social connections and structure that binds neighbors and communities, is important to a functioning democracy, and I believe a strong and healthy Church.
When we engage with our neighbors and friends, regardless of politics or religion or whatever cultural hot-button issue is abuzz, we create trust. And when we can trust people we are able to overlook personal differences. We are able to step back and see that the face in front of us is really just another person, loved by God, and trying to live on the same planet as each one of us.
I'll hope you'll find time in your schedule to reserve your FREE ticket to one of three screenings on August 25/26. A healthy America might just depend on all of us joining together, and that goes doubly for the Church.
See you Sunday,
Brian
