Sophie Scholl Film
Thurs., Mar. 14, 9:30 am – 11:45 am
Based on a true story, Sophie Scholl is a student in Munich in 1943 who, with her brother Hans, is a member of the anti-war movement White Rose. Arrested for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets, she is tried by the then-draconian judicial laws of the regime and sentenced to death by guillotine, as are her brother and Christoph Probst. Linda Davey will share information on the background story for the film. Meet at Red Hills Village Retirement Resort. Register Here
St. John’s Bible
Wed., Mar. 20, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
The Saint John’s Bible is a handwritten, hand-illuminated manuscript, using the materials and techniques of medieval manuscripts. Its illuminations create a modern theological statement about diversity and inclusion, blending Christian iconography with Eastern Orthodox, Muslim, Buddhist, and Native American symbols. St. John’s Episcopal Church is proud to be hosting the Gospels and Acts volume of the Heritage Edition of the St. John's Bible and will be bringing it to the TSC Dining Room. Register Here
