Set in civil war-ravaged Northern Uganda, this Best Documentary nominee for the 2008 Oscars follows the lives of three youngsters who attend school in a refugee camp and find hope through a rich tradition of song and dance. Coming from a world in which children are abducted from their families and forced to fight in the rebel army, these kids give it their all when they travel to the capital city to take part in the prestigious Kampala Music Festival.
Join us to learn about hope in the midst of triumph, and what we can do to address this enormous tragedy.
If you would like to bring a snack to share, please respond with what you are bringing.

Dear God is a global project for people around the world to share their innermost hopes - and fears - through prayer. Praying to a higher power soothes and heals. It’s scientifically proven that people who pray are healthier, happier and more resilient.
Share your prayers with the rest of the world and help create hope one prayer at a time. You can send your personal letter to God and/or a picture that sums up your message visually. (Dear God will source a picture if you don’t have one).

I came across this movement that is inline with our values and priorities as a church. Because politics have failed to solve big problems in the past, it is tempting, even during a critical election year, to become apathetic and disengage from the political process. However, if we are to have any hope to change the failed politics of our nation, we must activate ourselves as citizens and re-center the national debate and agenda who around Jesus calls the “least of these.”
