Sanctuary United Church of Christ resumes its monthly Faith and Film program, with the fall series “Mortality at the Movies” exploring the value of life through the vantage point of death. Attendees watch a current film, followed by a discussion about themes of morality, faith, and humanity led by local theologians and community leaders.

In this month’s film, in the midst of a marital crisis, a High Court judge must decide if she should order a life-saving blood transfusion for a teen with cancer despite his family’s refusal to accept medical treatment for religious reasons. Screening and discussion led by Rev. Anastasia Kidd and Rev. Chad Kidd; Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; screening, 6:45 p.m.; discussion, 8:45 to 9:30 p.m.

Bring your own beer, wine or soda. Space is limited. For reservations visit the Faith and Film web page.

Note: While Sanctuary’s license provides inexpensive access to a wide range of current and big-studio films, the church is limited in its ability to market the film title outside of its own network.  Please call 781-395-3360 or e-mail office@sanctuaryucc.org for the title of this month’s film.

Cosponsored by the Medford Film Collaborative. Attending the film is free, but a freewill offering will be collected; the suggested donation is $10 per person.
