From Now On

A brilliant new Lent Course for 2019, based on the hugely popular film The Greatest Showman. The 2018 Golden Globe-nominated movie starring Hugh Jackman, about the founder and stars of the Barnum & Bailey Circus is ideal for Lenten study of Christian themes of hope, redemption and new life.The five-week course offers discussion points, biblical reflections and prayers based on short excerpts from the film. The themes are: (1) ¿A Million Dreams¿, exploring what liberation and hope might look like for an ¿outsider¿ in the world; (2) ¿Come Alive¿, exploring how the family of faith can bring hope and purpose; (3) ¿Rewrite the stars¿, asks what forms of resistance can be placed in the way of salvation; (4) ¿Never Enough¿, questions the temptations of false fulfilment that can lead us to betrayal; (5) ¿The Greatest Show¿, shows how redemption is found when we discover ¿the circus is our home¿.
