On Sunday, May 17th, the issues raised by “Angels & Demons,” the sequel to “The DaVinci Code,” will be the subject of our morning service at Redeemer. We’ll tackle the question of how science and faith interact, and challenge the film’s supposition that they are always at odds.
Following the morning service, you’re invited to join Jack Brown and others for a screening of “Angels & Demons” at Celebration South starting at 1:30pm. Normal price for a Sunday matinee is $7, but tickets for this special showing are only $4.50. A special popcorn/drink combo is also available for $3.50.
If you would like to join us, DO NOT purchase tickets on your own. RSVP to jack@redeemercovenant.org, and you’ll be added to the list to get the special rate.
Hope you can join us!
(please note, the movie is “Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, disturbing images and thematic material.”)
