Join China Friends (an international student organization at the U of M) every other week to view portions of epic Bible movies with discussion afterwards. Have you ever wondered why the Bible is by far the best-selling book of all time? Maybe you have tried to read it, but you just didn’t get very far. Well, there is a genre of film-making that attempts to capture the story of the Bible! Each session includes a dinner from a different country or region of the world. To view a trailer of the current film being shown and to register to go to this unique event, click on the SIgn Up link below. All international students are welcome.
