Sunday Night at the Movies<br />
“Jesus and the REEL Life”<br />
Once again, we are taking the summer Sunday nights and transforming them into<br />
“Sunday Night at the Movies.” This unique format utilizes clips from both known<br />
and unknown movies that powerfully present timeless Biblical truths. We began<br />
last week with a little known movie called “The Children of Huang Shi” and even<br />
with the technical problems, the message of the importance of “Turning Points” in<br />
one’s life came through effectively.<br />
Before I post the summer schedule of movies, notice one change. Kevin Welch<br />
will also be presenting/teaching this summer. Kevin has a great knowledge of<br />
useful movies as well as insights of truth we can draw from those movies. We are<br />
both very excited to be a part of this opportunity to grow.<br />
The movies will deal with various themes, but the ones that are “kid friendly” will<br />
be noted as such. Be sure and watch for those movies, especially if you have small<br />
children. Kevin is away at camp so his list will be available next week. Here is the<br />
schedule:<br />
June 7 - “The Children of Huang Shi” (Bob)<br />
June 14 - “Seven Pounds” (Bob)<br />
June 21 - “TBA” (Kevin)<br />
June 28 - “TBA” (Kevin) [*Kid Friendly*]<br />
July 5 - “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” (Bob)<br />
July 12 - “TBA” (Kevin)<br />
July 19 - “Bella” (Bob)<br />
July 26 - “TBA” (Kevin)<br />
August 2 - “TBA” (Kevin)<br />
August 9 - “Horton Hears a Who” (Bob) [*Kid Friendly*]<br />
August 16 - “As We Forgive” (Bob)<br />
August 23 - “TBA” (Kevin)<br />
August 30 - “Slumdog Millionaire” (Bob)<br />
Each movie will target themes such as guilt, forgiveness, the will of God, redemption,<br />
and many more Biblical themes.<br />
We are praying for greater spiritual formation, because of the truths we discuss and<br />
the movies we use to illustrate those truths. The time is 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. and<br />
we would love to have you join all of us!<br />

you are on time, so we can leave as soon as possible.<br />
Children MUST have the liability release forms completed.<br />

Joy Comes in the Morning<br />
“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing<br />
love, that we may sing for joy and be<br />
glad all our days.” (Ps. 90:14)<br />
It’s been nearly 3 years now since I last<br />
experienced it. For some of you, it may have<br />
been even longer. Others may still be<br />
waiting...waiting to be filled with great (Luke<br />
2:10), pure (James 1:2), complete (Phil. 2:2),<br />
and thrilling (Luke 6:23) JOY!<br />
I’m talking about my most previous encounter<br />
with the birth of a new grandbaby.<br />
But for some of you, true joy may be something<br />
only faintly familiar: that elusive fruit of<br />
the spirit that life experience or lack of focus<br />
or, even, sin is robbing from you.<br />
Most grandparents can testify to the<br />
switch that gets toggled when that first birth<br />
in the third generation occurs. For some reason<br />
you just can’t stop smiling or talking about<br />
it! And isn’t that the kind of joy in the Lord<br />
we all desire?<br />
In Psalm 51:12, David asks God to restore<br />
the joy of His salvation. Is it possible<br />
that simply being reminded of God’s love and<br />
redemption can turn our hearts once again<br />
towards that state of gladness? May those<br />
of you still searching find help with your<br />
wardrobe (Ps. 30:11), so you can thrive in the<br />
joy that causes you to leap (Ps. 28:7), and<br />
sing (Ps. 5:11), and shout (Ps. 33:3)!<br />
