"A Great Awakening" Outdoor Film Screening

Join us for a free, outdoor screen of "A Great Awakening," the true, inspirational story of the unlikely friendship between the Reverend George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield ignites the first Great Awakening, uniting Colonial America with his thundering, faithful sermons and proclamations of liberty. In a surprising turn of events, deist Benjamin Franklin becomes one of Whitefield's closest friends and greatest promoters. With the nation's freedom hanging in the balance, the founders discover that true independence is more than just law - it is the spirit that lies in the hearts of the people.

Bring your family and friends, lawn chairs or a blanket, and get ready to enjoy a powerful story on the big screen. It’s the perfect chance to connect with American history and your faith - just in time for July Fourth and America's 250th birthday. Don’t miss out on this compelling and inspiring afternoon!
