This year’s Lent Course is based on the hugely popular film “The Greatest Showman”. Here’s the blurb…
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’.
