From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes a comedy-adventure set in the modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia. Officer Judy Hopps jumps at the chance to crack her first case - even if it means partnering with scam-artist fox Nick Wilde.  Disney has created a touching story that deals with larger issues like prejudice and stereotypes and is good for all ages. It was a box-office hit and the 2nd highest grossing Disney movie outside of Frozen.

March Book: Everything is Tuberculosis
                       by John Green 

Discussion: Sunday, March 8 after worship

Where: Fireside Room

How: Read the book on your own and join us for our discussion.

In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John Green tells Henry Reider's story, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

“In this urgent and compassionate work, John Green shows how this illness is still the world’s deadliest infectious disease, and he does it with sharp reporting and deeply emotional storytelling. His voice resonates with clarity and conviction.” —Scientific American
