Greetings everyone!

I wanted to publicize the change of movies and venue ahead of time to keep everyone on board!

On Wednesday, March 26, we will watch this movie in the Sanctuary, at the Dawn Drive entrance.

 We will now be viewing "Grace Unplugged," which ran in theaters last October, and just had the DVD release in February.

Here is the link to the preview:

 Here is a short article by one of the producers as he gets candid about the struggles of passing the faith-life on to our adult-children, as well as to teens.

To Look at Before You Go

(1) You have time to read the book first!

Read at least one of the gospels from the New Testament before we go. It takes about 60 to 90 minutes to read one in one sitting

... or have it read to you ... listen to one of the options here:

"Don't Give Up Movies for Lent" series 2014‏

Tonight is "Shrove Tuesday", and tomorrow is Ash Wednesday - or, the start of Lent.

Traditionally, the church has spent the weeks leading up to Easter to help people live the Christian life with new inspiration and commitment. They called it "Lent" from the word "lengthen," since it is the time of year that the sunlight of each day noticeably lengthens. This year, there is an unprecedented number of movie releases increasing the Son light coming from the movie projectors; let's go to see and support these movies for Lent!

Join us for a new take on your Lent journey.

All films are playing on Wednesday nights, and the films may all be showing at different places and times ... we will announce details each weekend before! Also, we will always go for a sip and/or a bite afterwards in order to talk about the movie. Just meet us, dutch-treat!

Join Joyce and Pastor Gary for an unprecedented feature-film filled Lent! If you decide to come, email us at LeadPastor@rhcc4.org so we know to look for you!  Also, please check out the BLOG for weekly updates on the movie time/location as well as some scriptural references to check out before the movie!  We are looking forward to experiencing this with you!!
