It could have been anywhere, USA. But this time, it was in the Heartland.
On August 7, 1930, two African-American teenagers, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, were lynched by a violent mob in Marion, Indiana. Moved by the infamous photograph taken that night, Abel Meeropol, a Jewish high school teacher in New York City, wrote a protest song entitled, “Strange Fruit.” The song soon became a signature of a young jazz singer named Billie Holiday, the unforgettable finale of her live performances, inspiring generations to believe in the power of music and the dignity of the human spirit.
This is the story of an American masterpiece, the song TIME Magazine in 1999 called “the song of the century.” But even more, this is a Good Friday story, an Easter Sunday story, a deeply human story of tragedy, defiance, genius, and grace.
On August 28, 1963, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech about a dream that inspired a generation. Fifty years later, the dream lives on. This poetic and provocative short film has been created to inspire communities to ask the question: how far have we come on the journey to social justice and what must be done to achieve the dream King so eloquently articulated in 1963?
This short, cinematic statement of faith affirms that God creates all things; is a refugee with no where to lay his head; and empowers the church to walk, hand in hand, with all God's people through God's starry night and into the dawn.
Here's a soft and beautiful Lenten prayer for showing in worship, using at a spiritual retreat, or just sharing with your congregation so that wilderness might bloom...
Hear anew God's promise of restoration and hope through the mouth of Isaiah. This epic and lyrical interpretation of Isaiah 35 is perfect to incorporate into worship during Advent, or any old time!
This lovely, sun-drenched worship film sets the story of salvation inside a Victorian-inspired shadow box theatre. Translucent paper, a flock of starlings, and a tomb made of apple blossoms all conspire to evoke the poetic drama of God’s grace and redemption.
We think this little film would be a lovely part of Easter worship, perfect for sharing on social media, sending out as an invitation to worship, or sending as a follow-up to visitors who attend on Easter morning.
