Join us all during the month of June for our Faith on Film series. Each week will explore how different movies bring to life the various ways faith compels us to overcome, forgive, persevere, and let go. Plus, you can come early to enjoy some popcorn! We've got a place for you!
June 7 - Wish and Faith that Overcomes
