Watching "Amazing Grace" this Sunday (3/25) @ 12:40pm

This Sunday after church, we'd like to offer you the opportunity to watch a movie with us that embodies much of what we've been discussing this semester about being shining examples of God's grace to a world full of ungrace and what a difference that can make.

The Arbor Cinema is showing "Amazing Grace" which chronicles the lives of two men in the 18th century, William Wilberforce and his confidant John Newton (the author of the hymn). William, as a Member of Parliament, worked for two decades to end the slave trade in the British Empire. This movie looks really good (see its website www.amazinggracemovie.com) and has gotten good reviews on rottentomatoes.

We're going to watch the 12:40pm showing on Sunday, so we'll have to leave ACC at 12:10pm (we'll be paying for the movie). The movie runs just under 2hrs, so we should get you back to campus around 3pm.

Please let me know by this Friday, 3/23, if you'll be joining us (we'd love for your friends to join us as well). We'll make sure you have rides back to campus just in case your ride to church won't be able to make the show. Thanks!
