Thursday, January 23 at 7:00 p.m.
Regal Cantera Theater in Warrenville
Cost: $10
As our church takes first steps in being a Matthew 25 church, we will begin to explore
Justice
, and have an opportunity to view the movie
Blind Eyes Opened. This is a first-of-a-kind Christian documentary that dives deep into the sex trafficking industry in the U.S. The film exposes the darkness that fuels demand, highlights survivors’ transformation through Christ, and engages lawmakers, law enforcement, organizations, ministries and experts across the country committed to ending the atrocities, all while showing Christ as the hope for all involved. This will be a thought-provoking film suggesting ways we can get involved in eliminating this activity in our communities.
If you would like to attend, please call the church office or sign-up at the Welcome Desk.
Scholarships are available.
