Launching into Possibility
To kick off our "Metaphysics at the Movies" series, we step into a story—a story about courage, imagination, and the unseen potential within each of us—with a message entitled "Launching into Possibility." After viewing the 1999 film October Sky on Friday evening at 6 PM in the sanctuary, we will reconnect on Sunday at 1 PM to delve more deeply into the key spiritual takeaways from the movie, based on the true story of Homer Hickam.
Set in a coal-mining town in West Virginia in the 1950s, Homer lived the life of a coal miner’s son. As a teenager, others expected him to follow his father into the mines. Then Homer saw the Russian satellite, Sputnik, streak across the October sky, and something stirred in him. A vision. A call.
Have you ever had a dream or a calling that seemed completely out of reach—a longing that didn’t match your current reality? Join Dr. Nancy Little to explore how Spirit speaks through that longing. She will guide us to consider how to say “yes” to that inner call—and launch into new possibility.
Metaphysics at the Movies: October Sky
The true story of Homer Hickam, a coal miner's son who was inspired by the first Sputnik launch to take up rocketry against his father's wishes.

Our 4-week Metaphysics at the Movies series explores the deeper spiritual truths and metaphysical themes woven into beloved films, inviting us to see ourselves and our lives in a new light.
In our final film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a group of travelers arrive expecting rest, comfort, and clarity… and instead find something far less predictable—and far more transformative.
What if the moments that feel like endings are actually invitations into a new way of living? What if uncertainty isn’t something to fix, but something to walk through?
This Sunday, Rev. Aliza joins us virtually as we explore how life continues to unfold—often beyond our plans, preferences, and timelines—and how the willingness to stay present in the unknown becomes the doorway to something deeper, freer, and unexpectedly alive.
