As the holiday shopping season looms ahead, is the “Shop-ocalypse” inevitable? Â Join us for an inspiring film and discussion about deescalating the consumption frenzy. We will show the hilarious film, “What Would Jesus Buy?” featuring performance-artist, the Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping Choir. Â Through retail interventions, corporate exorcisms, and some good old-fashioned preaching, Reverend Billy reminds us that we have lost the true meaning of the holidays.
After the film, we will adjourn to the Parish Hall for refreshments and a conversation cafe to share our own personal strategies for finding meaning in the holiday season with friends and family.  First Church’s Rev. Terry Burke will start our small group discussions with some initial reflections on “unplugging the Christmas consumption machine.â€
