TODAY AT CEDAR RIDGE
God in the Movies – Nope, 2022
Colin Anderson
Today, we explore Nope and what it reveals about our tendency to turn tragedy, nature, and even one another into spectacle. Consider what can happen when exploitation replaces empathy and respect.

Sunday Morning Book Study: Sundays at 8:45 a.m., in room 203
This group will meet most Sundays, currently discussing Love Thy Stranger, by New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman. Explore Jesus’ radical call to love those beyond our own circles through acts of compassion and care. For questions, or to confirm a meeting date, please contact Dave Martinsen davidmartinsen@yahoo.com. Everybody welcome!
The Criminal Justice Reform Team invites you to participate in a summer “book” club exploring The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story. This anthology of essays and poetry reframes American history by placing slavery and its enduring legacy at the center of the American story, inviting readers to consider how that history continues to shape American society today. While this work is not directly tied to issues of criminal justice, the CJRT picked this as a fantastic resource for learning and discussion.
There are multiple ways to engage with the material. You can read the book, listen to the audiobook or podcast (available on all major podcast platforms), or watch the related Hulu series. You are welcome to engage with any of these formats, to whatever extent you desire. Work through the material at your own pace during the summer and join us for a discussion and fellowship gathering planned for late August (details forthcoming).
Contact Sara at salimpert@gmail.com to join or for more information.
