Blockbuster Christianity
In the series Blockbuster Christianity, the church will be transformed into a movie theater with popcorn, coke and candy. We’ll watch clips from the best movies of 2006 and learn truths from the Bible as they are illustrated in the movies.

Now that's church, butter popcorn and the gospel of hollyweird.
