Join us as we learn to
“love the Lord with all our minds.” This year at PMC, we are going to take time to focus on the intellectual side of faith. How do we think both critically and faithfully about God, ourselves and the world around us? Through documentaries, theater productions and seminars, we’ll explore the joy of learning together and from one another. The highlight of the year is our PMC Learns Lunches. Join us on the first Sunday of every month as we gather downstairs after the 2nd service for a brown bag lunch where we’ll hear from fellow PMCers as they share their knowledge of topics ranging from biblical studies to city planning. |
LUNCH TALKS (2019-20)
|
What: Bring a brown bag lunch and hear from people in our congregation about their areas of expertise and how our faith affects how we view topics like natural resources, relationships and Scripture.
When: First Sundays of the month from 12-1pm Where: The PMC Commons |

“Citizen Jane: Battle for the City” Documentary
Join us for a showing of Citizen Jane, a timely tale of what can happen when engaged citizens fight the power for the sake of a better world. Arguably no one did more to shape our understanding of the modern American city than Jane Jacobs, the visionary activist and writer who fought to preserve urban communities in the face of destructive development projects.

Ted and Co. “We Own This Now”
Starring Ted Swartz and Michelle Milne, We Own This Now is a play by Alison Brookins that looks at love of land, loss of land, and what it means to “own” something. Diving into historical documents, absurd situations, and extended metaphors, the audience discovers alongside Riley and Chris how the Doctrine of Discovery (the legal framework that justifies theft of land and oppression of Indigenous Peoples) is still being used and causing harm today.
