Santa Paula Cinema Society presents Chinatown

Day and Time
Friday Mar 14, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PMDetails
In 1937 Los Angeles, private investigator Jake 'J.J.' Gittes specializes in cheating-spouse cases. His current target is Hollis Mulwray, high-profile chief engineer for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, whose wife suspects him of infidelity. In following Mulwray, Gittes witnesses some usual business dealings, such as a public meeting for construction of a new dam to create additional water supply for Los Angeles, as fresh water is vital to the growing community during the chronic drought; Mulwray opposes the dam. Eventually Gittes sees Mulwray meeting with an unknown young woman who isn't his wife. Once news of the supposed tryst between Mulwray and this woman hits the media, additional information comes to light that makes Gittes believe that Mulwray is being framed for something and that he himself is being set up. In his investigation of the issue behind Mulwray's framing and his own setup, Gittes is assisted by Mulwray's wife Evelyn, but he thinks she isn't being forthright with him. The further he gets into the investigation, the more secrets he uncovers about the Mulwrays' professional and personal dealings, including Mulwray's former business-partnership with Evelyn's father, Noah Cross. The identity of the unknown woman may be the key to uncovering the whole story.

Service: Ostara: A Time of Balance and Renewal

Day and Time
Sunday Mar 16, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
Rev. Rayne Hamre* and Ruth Ricards
Incorporating teachings from mythology to modern psychology, most human beings seek moments of life-balance. Pagan practitioners ancient and modern have honored the Equinox, that twice-a-year, fleeting balance of daylight and nighttime darkness. We will enjoy this solar Springtime pause and reflect on balance and renewal, with Rev. Rayna, as modern Unitarian Universalists.

Service: Weaving Justice: César Chávez, Trans Visibility, and the Fabric of Human Rights

Day and Time
Sunday Mar 30, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
With Kate English and Marybeth East
As March 31st marks both César Chávez Day and Transgender Day of Visibility, we reflect on how these movements for farmworker justice and trans liberation are connected by shared struggles for dignity, equity, and human rights. Inspired by Loretta Ross's vision of a human rights movement woven together with legal protections, this sermon explores how we can honor the legacies of these movements while standing boldly with those most marginalized today. Together, let us strengthen the threads of justice in our interconnected world.
