You are invited to see the film “An Act of Love” on Sunday, February 12 at 5:00 at Nardin Park UMC, 29887 W. Eleven Mile, Farmington Hills. This is just west of Middlebelt.
This free event features the award-winning documentary “An Act of Love,” copies of which were given to delegates to General Conference last summer. The 90-minute film explores the deep divisions in the United Methodist Church over same-sex marriage and the ordination of gay and lesbian clergy. The film centers on an unlikely advocate for LGBTQ inclusion, Rev. Frank Schaefer, who was put on trial by the Church for officiating his son’s same-sex wedding. Their story is presented within the context of the larger debate and includes voices from all sides.
A discussion, led by Pastors Melanie Carey and Wes Brun, will follow the film. Pizza, popcorn and beverages will be provided.
Childcare will be provided with reservation through Nardin Park’s office, M-F 8:30-4:30, 248-476-8860.
Upcoming programs:
Sunday, May 7 – Learn about the Ruth Ellis Center’s valuable, growing services from Jerry Peterson, Executive Director, and our opportunities for both service and financial support.
