    JULY 28: MY WORLD - FILM NIGHT


    Can mercy restore what genocide destroyed? This week we’ll watch the documentary film As We Forgive, which chronicles the stories of two Rwandan women, Rosaria and Chantal, whose families were murdered during the 1994 genocide. Their choice to forgive and reconcile with the men who murdered their families is a powerful reminder that the hope and forgiveness we have in Christ transcends even the most horrific situations.

    Plan to join us Wednesday, August 11, to discuss the film together.
