On
Friday night, March 7, at 7:00 p.m., Christ
Church has reserved a 120-seat screen
at the Marcus Theater
in Elk River for a private showing of the
newly released movie called “Son of God.” I especially encourage
our Prime Time and Grounded groups to attend... and invite a friend.
Tickets are just $7.00 and the whole theater is ours! I also want to
invite Life Groups, couples, families (recommended for kids 5th grade and older) to join us. You must pay for and pick-up your ticket

Church . This is a

Let’s all make an effort to be on time. It’s an important part of doing all things with excellence unto the Lord!
