Come join fellow Phoenix Fusion friends as we gather together via Zoom on Monday, Aug 17th @ 6:30 pm to discuss the movie, The Hate U Give (PG-13, preview here), based on Angie Thomas’ novel. Register for the Zoom Meeting here. Facilitated by Pastor Brent Maxwell, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Paradise Valley.

The movie follows Starr Carter, a 16 yr old girl who lives in the fictional, black neighborhood of Garden Heights, but attends a predominantly white private school and the fallout that ensues after she witnesses a police shooting. You are encouraged to watch the movie ( which is on most digital platforms now ) prior to attending the Discussion Group. Pastor Brent Maxwell from Gloria Dei Lutheran Church will be leading the discussion that will touch on difficult but relevant issues facing our communities right now.
