Good Friday Movies for the Whole Family! FREE!

FREE!!! ALL ARE INVITED to to a special Good Friday showing of Mel Gibson's hugely successful "The Passion of the Christ" at St. Stephen Church in Chatsworth. A special children's movie about Jesus' life will also be shown at the same time so parents can bring their children to this very special event!

"The Passion of the Christ," a classic big-screen epic, has been embraced by believers the world over for its realistic and moving portrayal of the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The movie will be shown at 6:30 pm, with dessert and discussion following.

Even if you've seen the movie before, (re)watching it during this Holy Week will help you more gravely comprehend the enormity of Christ's passion and love for all of us. Many critics have stated that it is by far the most accurate, honest portrayal of the crucifixion ever screened.

"If ever there was a film with the correct title, that film is Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." Although the word passion has become mixed up with romance, its Latin origins refer to suffering and pain; later Christian theology broadened that to include Christ's love for mankind, which made him willing to suffer and die for us." – Roger Ebert

The Passion of the Christ is emotionally moving, powerful, and masterfully made – a great movie that will stick around for generations. Please join us!

This movie is rated R for sequences of graphic violence.
