Facing the Giants Movie - Saturday Night Sept 22 @ 6:30pm
From the award-winning producers of FLYWHEEL comes a new, action-packed, family-friendly drama about a high school football coach who draws up a new game plan for his team … and himself.
In his six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never had a winning season. Even the hope of a new season is squelched when the best player on his Shiloh Eagles decides to transfer schools. After losing their first three games of the season, the coach discovers a group of fathers are plotting to have him fired. Combined with pressures at home, Coach Taylor has lost hope in his battle against fear and failure.
However, an unexpected challenge helps him find a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, Coach Taylor and the Eagles discover how faith plays out on the field … and off.
With God, all things are possible …
Be assured that this movie will speak to you and move you in amazing ways.

Long Weekend
Yes believe it or not the labour day long weekend has arrived. To some this is a depressing time of the year, to others, many are rejoicing. Not convinced - have you seen one of the Staples ads?
This ad might be the best marketing ploy of all time (it is right up there with the Coca Cola ad of the early 80's with Mean Joe Greene and the DQ ad a couple of years ago).
Check them out and you decide. Place your vote in the comment section.
