Men’s Ministry Movie Night
Whether positive or painful, it’s always personal and can deeply affect the core of our identity and direction of our lives. Kendrick Brothers’ SHOW ME THE FATHER is the first documentary film from the creators of WAR ROOM, OVERCOMER, FIREPROOF, and COURAGEOUS Legacy. Featuring a variety of amazing true stories, this captivating movie takes audiences of all ages on an inspiring and emotional cinematic journey. Providing a fresh perspective on the roles of fathers in today’s society, SHOW ME THE FATHER invites you to think differently about how you view your earthly father, and how you personally relate to God.
Please join us for Hoffmantown’s Men’s Ministry’s presentation of the latest Kendrick Brothers’ film “Show Me the Father” May 27, at 6pm in room B208/210. The film is rated PG. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required so we know how many to expect. Families are welcome to attend. To register, visit www.hoffmantownchurch.org/events/mens-ministry-movie-night/.
Good News!
We are happy to announce that we have two staff changes. Michael Taylor will be assuming the role of Communications and Media Strategist/Tem Leader.
