Last week I watched a movie called The Intern, starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. De Niro's character is recently retired and looking for a place to show up and share his expertise.

Connect with us tomorrow for a special event as we watch the documentary film Radical Grace. You won't be disappointed! See you soon! 

 
Peace,
