 Faith and Film. On Sunday, November 15, 4:00-7:30 p.m., explore the meaning of forgiveness through the award-winning Norwegian film Troubled Water (subtitled). Jan, recently released from prison after serving time for the murder of a child, has always maintained his innocence. A gifted organist, he finds work at a Lutheran church in Oslo. The pastor assures him that all things can be forgiven. But can they? Come to the home of Marjorie Suchocki where we will watch the film (120 minutes), share a soup supper and discuss. Surely we will resolve the issues together, won't we? RSVP to Marjorie if you wish to attend (contact information published in the church directory). |
