Summer at the Movies - Teaching Series

For 6 weeks this summer, join us in watching some fantastic blockbuster movies! Each week we will choose a movie that we can all watch at home in preparation for Sunday. We will then use examples from the movie to illustrate our teaching points on Sunday mornings. Sounds like fun right? All of the movies we choose can be found on Netflix, iTunes and many other movie providers.

Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival.
