Free Screening of the Sound of Hope in honor of National Adoption Month

This November, in honor of National Adoption Month, we invite you to experience the inspiring true story of Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot. This film chronicles how 22 families from a small East Texas community adopted 77 of the most difficult-to-place children from the foster care system.

Based on the remarkable true story, Sound of Hope follows Bishop W.C. Martin and his wife, Donna, as they inspire their church community to answer an urgent call: to give loving homes to children who need them most. What began with one family's decision sparked a movement that changed an entire community forever.

This isn't just a movie – it's a call to action.

This is a FREE community event, but registration is required for planning purposes.

Popcorn and Refreshments provided. Food Truck on site for purchases.
