MOVIE NIGHT: “THE NATIVITY STORY” PG — Wednesday, December 23, at 7pm — If you haven’t seen “The Nativity Story,” you’re in for a treat! This Christmas movie is a delight, with wonderful performances for Mary and Joseph and a fittingly dastardly Herod. If you’re using a Tablet you may want to find the headphones to get the best audio experience. We’ll watch the movie together through Zoom with a brief intermission halfway through for popcorn! tinyurl.com/sjgi-zoom

“LETTERS FROM A SKEPTIC” BOOK STUDY — Thursday afternoons from 2pm to 3pm — This book explores faith from the perspective of the mind as well as the heart. Why do we believe? What are the reasons underlying our faith? Dr. Boyd writes and receives letters from his father asking and answering every question about Christianity that you can imagine. Send Fr. Phil a quick email or text and he’ll let you know what chapters we’re reading this week! tinyurl.com/sjgi-zoom
