LASSIE COME HOME
In a small Yorkshire village during the Great Depression, financial pressures cause the parents of young Joe Carraclough (Roddy McDowall) to sell his beloved dog, Lassie, to the Duke of Rudling (Nigel Bruce). After the duke takes the collie to his Scottish estate, his granddaughter (Elizabeth Taylor) recognizes that the dog misses her former owner and allows her to escape. Facing great dangers and small kindnesses on her lengthy journey, the faithful dog sets forth to rejoin her beloved family.
One of my favorite movies ever. Thank you to Pastor Doug for bringing this wonderful sermon series to us four our Advent celebration. I like to say during my announcements at church the memorable words from Dorthy Gail, "There's no place like Home". We continue to celebrate worship each week together and online. No matter where you are, Jesus is with us and brings us all together in one place. Home! May your Advent celebrations be bright and beautiful.
