You're invited to our Lenten/Easter special edition of Dinner & a Movie on Saturday, March 28 beginning at 4:30pm. We're encouraging our wider church community and our youth and young adults to join us for food and film.
This year we will follow-up last year's Ben-Hur with another film starring Charleton Heston. This time it's the 1956 film version of The Ten Commandments directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
The Ten Commandments is a re-telling of the classic story from Exodus of Moses (Heston) and his faith in God and effort to free the Hebrews from slavery under the Egyptians. The former Prince of Egypt returns to convince his former adopted brother Ramses (Yul Brynner) to free the Hebrew slaves or face punishment in the form of ten plagues, and thereafter lead the Hebrews to Mount Sinai where they will receive God's Ten Commandments. A colour remake of DeMille's own 1923 version of the film, The Ten Commandments was nominated for 7 Academy Awards, and won the award for Special Effects due to its still-impressive scenes of the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea.
We will begin the film at 4:30pm in the church hall, taking a break during the film's intermission for food and discussion, and then concluding the film's second part after.
Suggested contributions for dinner are $5 per person.
