DESCRIPTION:Creation Care Documentary Video & Discussion\nDo I Need This\nSunday\, February 18 at 4:00 p.m.\nSt. James Worship Space\nA good film for the Lenten season. \nThe Lenten season seems like a good time to reflect on our relationship with material things\, with “stuff\,” in other words.  How much is enough?  Always a good question. Please join the St. James Creation Care Task Force at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday\, February 18 in the Worship Space for a showing of Do I Need This? by independent filmmaker Kate Shermerhorn. \nAs the hour-long film unfolds\, Kate explores her own relationship with the material things that have come to fill her house and garage while helping her aging parents downsize and contend with signs of increasing dementia. \nAlong the way\, we also meet a number of other Americans much like ourselves: decluttering counselors and cheerful hoarders\, a Buddhist monk with a closet full of robes he never wears and a Texas couple who have turned their home into a crowded museum of “stuff” with every room dedicated to a different kind of vintage American product. \nThe tone of the film is gently humorous and compassionate\, not preachy\, as it explores our life as consumers. \nA brief discussion facilitated by panelists from St. James and the community will follow the film. \nLight refreshments will be served. Please join us if you can!  This is a free community event. \nDirections & Parking Availability\nSt. James is a Reconciling In Christ congregation; All are Welcome!\nOur facility is handicapped accessible.  Please click the link above for additional information.
