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.
