A brilliant new Lent Course for 2019, based on the hugely popular film The Greatest Showman. The 2018 Golden Globe-nominated movie starring Hugh Jackman, about the founder and stars of the Barnum & Bailey Circus is ideal for Lenten study of Christian themes of hope, redemption and new life.The five-week course offers discussion points, biblical reflections and prayers based on short excerpts from the film. The themes are: (1) -A Million Dreams-, exploring what liberation and hope might look like for an -outsider- in the world; (2) -Come Alive-, exploring how the family of faith can bring hope and purpose; (3) -Rewrite the stars-, asks what forms of resistance can be placed in the way of salvation; (4) -Never Enough-, questions the temptations of false fulfilment that can lead us to betrayal; (5) -The Greatest Show-, shows how redemption is found when we discover -the circus is our home-.
