Brown Bag Film Series
(BYOB: Bring your own bagged…lunch)
The Compassion Ministry continues with its film series.
March 1, 2020
Please join us after worship on Sunday, March 1st, to watch this amazing motion picture (PG-13) about Harriet Tubman. In order to secure the proper size room, please let a Compassion Ministry member know you plan to attend or email Colleen at hughespaterno@gmail.com.
The image most of us have of Tubman is of the noble older woman wearing a headscarf and somewhat inscrutable expression. With “Harriet,” she is rescued from that image to become a vital, fearless, spiritually driven hero whose physical bravery is only equaled by her moral courage. Struck on the head as an adolescent, Tubman was subject, throughout her life, to visions that she attributed to God speaking to and through her. Here, she emerges not just as a dynamic leader — the Moses that so many called her — but as someone in tune with higher forces impelling her to fulfill a mission she might not always fully understand.
