30th marks the opening day of a movie that will challenge and motivate all
parents (especially dads) to .... well, become all God exhorts us to be as
parents. It's called
"Courageous". If you want to
learn more, visit http://www.courageousthemovie.com We plan
to offer FREE child care for the
3:45pm showing on Saturday, October 1st. Our plan is to offer care from 3pm to
7pm. The only
theater in town showing the movie is the Regal Cascade Stadium 16 near Mill
Plain and We are
hoping to provide face painting, games in the gym, Veggie Tales movies, a
Bible Lesson, and other healthy things for the kids (food too?!) ... but more
than just baby sitting! BUT, that
depends a lot on you! We need a
contingent of people to care for these children ... a staff who are so
passionate about reaching parents with this important message they are
willing to sacrifice a few hours to help them to hear it. Are you one of those? If you
would like to help with child care, or if you would like to attend the movie
and NEED childcare, please let me Dave Crawford, djcrawford@integrity.com or
Amy (acrawford@integrity.com) know as soon as possible. Celebrate
