FW Missions Movie Event: “The Chosen”
Saturday, April 12 | 4:00 – 6:00 pm | Cinemark Theatre
The Missions Team is excited to host a movie event on April 12 at Waco’s Cinemark Theatre, where we will watch “The Chosen: Last Supper Part 1” from season five. This event is a great opportunity to reach out to others who do not know Christ or do not have a church home. If you would like to attend, you will need to invite a neighbor, friend, or co-worker. The tickets are free, and you can request yours and up to two more for those you invite. You will be able to purchase a discounted $10 concession gift card for yourself, your guest(s), or both if desired. There is a limited number of seats, and our desire is that you use this event to share Christ during this Easter season. Please be in prayer about who you want to invite and how God might use this movie to help your friend see and know Christ. Register online or on the app to request your free tickets and to purchase discounted concession cards. Movie tickets and concession cards can be picked up at the theater prior to the start of the movie. Reach out to René Maciel with any questions.
