THE SACRED BODY

Led By Artist tim holmes

Wed evenings at 6:15 Jan 7th through Feb 11th.
The format of this class will include short films, discussion, and art projects.
Christian history has not largely delighted in the human body. Although Genesis tells us we are created in the image of God and that creation is "very good", this is not our experience in culture or even the church. As a sculptor of the body, I've been inspired by the beauty and sacredness of human flesh, resulting in many short films to re-sanctify the flesh. I've grown increasingly alarmed over decades that those of us who inhabit bodies feel as though the whole world is pitted against us. Is this all we were created for?

THE ENTIRE SKY

A Book Study Led By Dale Waniata

Wed evenings at 6:15 Jan 7th through mid-March.  Spend the winter with us and enjoy a great book about our state. We will read 40 pages a week. Drop-ins are welcome.   This novel is set in eastern Montana in our century.  Justin, a 16 year old boy, is on the run from his violent past.  He finds himself on a small sheep ranch near the tiny town of Nye, Montana.  There he meets Rene Bouchard, an aging widower awash in grief for his wife Viv. Rene has given up on his life and is planning the perfect time to shoot himself.  His daughter Lianne, a mother of two boys, is also deeply grieving her mother and worried about her father.  As the paths of these three main characters intersect on the small sheep ranch, they form a bond that gives strength and sustaining love to all 3 of them.  Though the story deals with suicide, it is a story filled with love, hope and renewal.  Mr. Wilkins lives and teaches in Oregon.  But he grew up in eastern Montana.  He understands the people and the places and the history of Montana.  Readers will find his writing powerful and compelling.  The author began his writing career writing poetry.  Like his poetry, some of his novel is dense and at times confusing.   The story moves back and forth through the lives of Rene, Justin and Lianne.  But it is as true to Montana as the works of James Welch, Mildred Walker, and Ivan Doig.
