Faith and Film: War, Loss and the Gold Star Children
Join Rev. Tim on Thursday, July 19 [Morning Session (10 am - noon) or Thursday Evening Session: (7 pm - 9 pm)] to watch and discuss Gold Star Children, a documentary film about child survivors of war casualties, written and directed by Mitty Griffis Mirrer, a gold star child herself. The film is a first-person narrative told through the eyes of a nine-year-old girl, who lost her father in the Iraq war, and the adult-children survivors of the Vietnam War. We'll then discuss the intertwined realities we all face-love, loss, and grief-that are complicated by issues of war and the American culture of violence. Registration is required. Childcare is available. Call or email Katie Hymans at (559) 322-6146 or
