  Christ offers you Hope,
we invite you to share it! 
 

On Wednesdays through Lent,

we’ll talk about things that matter. 

Help us decide where the conversation will start.

 

NOOMA is a series of short films: Jesus lived with the awareness that God is doing something, right here, right now, and anybody can be a part of it. He encouraged his listeners to search, to question, to wrestle with the implications of what he was saying and doing. He inspired, challenged, provoked, comforted, and invited people to be open to God’s work in this world. Wherever he went, whatever he did, Jesus started discussions about what matters most, because for Jesus, God is always inviting us to open our eyes and join in. NOOMA is a series of short films that explore our world from a perspective of Jesus. NOOMA is an invitation to search, question, and join the discussion.

 

What’s a NOOMA?  The name NOOMA comes from a phonetic spelling of the Greek word pneuma (πνευμα) meaning wind, spirit, or breath.
