Movie: A Serious Man
7 pm, Room 201
Admission: Cash contribution to food shelves.
This month's movie is "A Serious Man." Blending dark humor with Jewish culture, Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1960s era film tells the story of an ordinary man who is trying to find balance and understanding in the world, loosely based on the story of Job. Starring Michael Stuhlbarg as Larry Gopnik, this movie is set in St. Louis Park. All are welcome.

This group attends local (off-Hennepin Avenue) theater and concert events. Our next Theatre a la Mode event will be the Henry’s Freedom Box at SteppingStone Theatre.  This world premiere play follows the story of a slave’s courageous quest for freedom. Under the grueling conditions of a Richmond tobacco factory, everyone Henry cares about is taken away from him. Tired of being powerless, he devises an ingenious way to escape to Philadelphia, where he can live a life where everyone can be free. Inspired by actual events on the Underground Railroad, Henry’s Freedom Box is a story of perseverance and courage.  We’ll see the show on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 3:30 PM.  Tickets are $7.  Please sign up at the Adult Council table by Feb. 7.

Hearts of Hope is a spiritually-based support group for parents, families, and friends of GLBT persons where everyone will feel safe and welcome. Maybe a family member or friend has revealed him or herself to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. The revelation of your loved one’s sexual orientation or gender identity can bring up a range of responses. Some people find themselves repressing their feelings while others may be flooded by over-whelming emotions. One common experience is the need for a period of adjustment to come to a new understanding and relationship with your loved one.
