God in the Movies
Groundhog Day is coming up, and while we don’t typically experience harsh winters in our part of the country, it’s still a fun tradition to find out if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow! Did you know the Bill Murray was bitten by the groundhog twice during shooting?
This February, we’re inviting you to explore some meaningful connections between this iconic movie and our faith journey. Here’s the plan:
- Watch Groundhog Day on your own—it’s available to rent or stream on most platforms.
- Join us February 15th, from 6:30-8pm at 5122 Morningside Drive for an engaging discussion over light bites and beverages!
Let’s unpack the film’s themes of transformation, purpose, and second chances together.

Groundhog Day
“A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting "rat" (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the 'following' day, he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing every day.”
