A Case for Love' Documentary Film Screening & Discussion wit

Sunday, November 24th:
10:00 a.m. – Filmmaker Brian Ide joins The Very Reverend Nathaniel Katz for a discussion of his film ‘A Case for Love’.
6:00 p.m. – Screening of ‘A Case for Love’
Inspired by the teachings and writings of The Most Rev. Michael Curry, “A Case for Love” is a heartfelt film telling the stories of Americans: prison inmates to politicians and celebrities, the common public, and the military. Our society is more divided than ever. Many have moved into tribal corners, seeing the world from an “us versus them” point of view. This feature-length documentary examines the question of whether or not love, specifically—unselfish—love, is the solution to the extreme societal and political divide facing the world. This event is free.

St. Cuthbert's Blood Drive
2024-12-22 09:00 - 13:30 | St Cuthbert's Episcopal Church, 17020 West Rd, Houston, 77095
Blood Drive in support of hospitals in the Greater Houston Area. All donors will receive a free hoodie, and as an added benefit, donors will receive a free A1c test. The A1c test is a simple blood test that measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, helping to identify prediabetes and diabetes early.

Blood donations are critically needed during the holiday season, when donation drops as everyone begins traveling and celebrating. But patients in area hospitals continue to need blood products to sustain them at all times. It typically takes about 3 days for the blood to clear testing and be transfused to a patient, so the blood you donate on Dec 22 could save someone’s life on Christmas Day!

Appointments requested please: www.commitforlife.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/381810
