Nurturing Faith Through Fiction
Meets Fourth Thursdays | 7:00 – 9:30 p.m.

This group, organized by Ron Damholt, meets monthly to explore and be engaged by fine works of fiction, either a novel read preceding the meeting or a film they screen together. In their discussions, they consider the moral qualities of the characters, the presence and leading of God in the work, and the author’s exploration of good and evil and justice and injustice. They are regularly being challenged by the movie or text to more obedient, faithful living.

Email Ron Damholt for more information.
