The Last Stand Documentary Screening
Friday, October 23 at 6:30pm (doors open at 6pm)
in the Sanctuary.

Seth Gruber, of the White Rose Resistance, challenges the Church to stand together and to fight for the family, the vulnerable, and the unborn.This powerful film reminds us that there is nothing new under the sun and that historically, when the culture shifts towards evil, the church has been bold for Christ and defeated the evils in the culture. Join us for a reminder of this history, as we are called to be doers of the Word of God in order to influence the culture and to restore order and righteousness based on God’s truths.  No tickets required.

This movie is recommended for ages 13 and up (parental discretion is advised).
