in Movie.
Church of the Nations will offer movie night this Friday, May 11 starting at 7:00 p.m. We will turn the chapel into a giant movie theater! Free drinks, snacks, and delicious popcorn. Children are especially welcome. This activity is free!
(Note – We suggest you bring a sweater or light jacket. When the air conditioning is on sometimes the chapel can become a little cold. Just like an American movie theater!)
Important update - We will show “Hugo” or “Over the Hedge“. (Depends on if we can find a copy of “Over the Hedge”.) Rick Wright watched “The Muppets” and it is a very good and funny movie – but people might not understand it if they don’t remember “The Muppets” television show.
Hugo is the amazing adventure of a clever and resourceful boy who seeks to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he can call home.
Over the Hedge is about a group of animals in the forest who wake up after the winter. They discover that humans built a new neighborhood next to their – now much smaller – forest. This very funny movie is about the clever things the animals do to steal food from their human neighbor – and the crazy things the neighbor does to stop them.
You can drive yourself to the church building or the church bus can pick you up at:
- Edward Gay at 6:35 p.m.
- Tiger Towers at 6:38 p.m.
- Nicholson bus stop at 6:40 p.m.
- Tigerland at 6:45 p.m.
- Brightside bus stop at 6:48 p.m.
Please allow 5-10 minutes for the bus to arrive because of weather or traffic.
Church of the Nations does have English Conversation during the summer – but not during the month of May. We take a break in May because it is such a busy month for many people. We look forward to seeing you again in June!
