WOMEN AT THE WELL

SUNDAY, MARCH 1 & MARCH 22 - 11:30 PM

IN THE NORTH LOUNGE

In honor of Black History month (one month late due to winter weather) we will watch the 2016 film, Queen of Katwe.  Based on a true story, Queen of Katwe depicts the life of Phiona Mutesi and her family. Her world changes one day when she meets Robert Katende, a missionary who teaches children how to play chess. Phiona becomes fascinated with the game and soon becomes a top player under Katende's guidance. Her success in local competitions and tournaments opens the door to a bright future and a golden chance to escape from a life of poverty. We will watch the film over the two days, followed by discussion and reflection. 

​

RELIGION AND SOCIAL CHANGE

2026 WEDNESDAY SPRING THEOLOGY CLASS

12 PM ON MARCH 4, 11, & 18

Rev. Only will lead a three-week class that explores how religious faith has fueled, challenged, and sometimes resisted movements for justice and social change in the United States and around the world. We will look at the religious roots of nonviolent social change, from Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King Jr., Bishop Desmond Tutu to Malala Yousafzai and consider how spiritual convictions have shaped campaigns for civil rights, peace, and human dignity in diverse contexts. The class will meet downstairs in the South Lounge from 12-1 PM on Wednesday March 4, 11, and 18. Feel free to invite friends, neighbors, and family members!
