Novel (& Reel) Theology 

Literature shapes our understanding of ideas like love, compassion, forgiveness, redemption; in other words, those markers we encounter in following Christ.  This year we will mix novels with movies and occasional non-fiction.

Novel Theology discussions are open to anyone who has read the book or seen the movie.  Invite your friends.

Books are available for purchase at Morgan Hill Bookstore at a 15% discount or from your library.   Movies may be available from your library, and the church office on occasion, and for rent on-line. We usually meet on the second Wednesday of the month at 7 PM.   We announce in advance any date changes.
