January is a great time for watching movies, and the United Congregational Church of Holyoke has two movie events coming up this week. This Thursday, we're showing a Crusade film as part of this month's Pizza, Film and Talk. We'll also have pizza and discussion following the film. (Please be warned the film is violent). On Friday, we're hosting a viewing of a Family Film at 6pm, after our monthly Community Meal. Both events are free and All Are Welcome. More information at www.uccholyoke.org. See you there! #uccholyoke #ucc #holyokema #openandaffirming #progressivechristianity #spirituality
