South Africa Movie Night!

It's that time again....South Africa Ministry monthly gathering is taking place on Thursday, June 9th in the "Living Room" (a.k.a. the High School room) at the 3080 Airway Building. Join us at 7pm as we gather to watch the movie "Skin". We're really excited to be able to watch this film together, learn more about the country of South Africa, and just fellowship. Please feel free to invite anyone (the film is rated PG-13 so keep that in mind when inviting younger guests). Hope to see you there!
Here is a synopsis of the film...
SKIN is one of the most moving stories to emerge from apartheid South Africa: Sandra Laing is a black child born in the 1950s to white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. Her parents are rural shopkeepers serving the local black community, who lovingly bring her up as their ‘white’ little girl. But at the age of ten, Sandra is driven out of white society. The film follows Sandra’s thirty-year journey from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her place in a changing world - and triumphs against all odds.
