Nooma Short Movies
Sunday Oct. 18 – “Trees”
Sunday Oct. 25 – “Sundays”
12:45p.m. – 1:30p.m.

Jesus lived with the awareness that God is doing something, right here, right now, and anybody can be a part of it. He encourages his listeners to search, to question, to wrestle with the implications of what he was saying and doing. He inspired, challenged, provoked, comforted, and invited people to be open to God’s work in this world. Wherever he went, whatever he did, Jesus started discussions about what matters most, because for Jesus, God is always inviting us to open our eyes and join in.

NOOMA is a series of short films that explore our world from the perspective of Jesus. NOOMA is an invitation to search, question, and join the discussion. On October 18 we’ll be viewing and discussing the movie “Trees”, and then on October 25 we’ll be doing the same with the movie “Sunday”. 

We want to know why we are here. If our lives really matter. How our religion is relevant to this life. Today. We want to understand what significance this minute, hour, week, month, and year has to our lives. To our world. We need a God who cares about this life, in this world, right now. We want to understand why everything we think, everything we say, and everything we do matters. We don’t want to just sit back and wait for something to happen or someday to come. We want to know if all the choices we make now will shape our world and lives for eternity. Because we want our lives to have meaning today, and our lives today to have meaning forever.

Christian Nurture for students in Grades 1 thru 5 will continue in Praise Place. Here, we listen to a Bible story told by a story teller, and spend time in private reflection wondering and responding to that story. We find and read the story from our classroom Bible, sing songs, and acknowledge the presence of Christ in our midst.

Our Bible stories for the month of October will be:

• Oct. 11 Abraham and Sarai from Genesis 12 and 13
• Oct. 18 Saving Baby Moses from Exodus 1 – 2:10
• Oct. 25 Exodus from Exodus 1:1-15:21
• Nov. 1 Children remain in worship for Communnion
• Nov. 8 The Ten Best Ways to Live from Exodus 19-20: Deuteronomy 6:4-6
