There was free admission and free popcorn last Friday as All Saints Anglican Church had its first “Movie Night” with the showing of “Facing The Giants,” the Christian football film produced by an Albany, Ga. church.

“I hope to alternate between thoughtful Christian films and some that are just fun and wholesome,” the Rev. Michael Fry said. “Visual media are having such a powerful impact on society today that I think the church should have a hand in guiding folks to what is best in a sea of mediocrity and at times refuse.”

Fry said that he had always wanted to have a movie night at his previous churches but never got around to it.

During the movie, an audience of about 25 parishioners cheered every touchdown by the Shiloh Christian Academy Eagles on their way to the state championship.

“Movie Night” is scheduled at All Saints for the fourth Friday of each month at 6:30 p.m. The next featured film will be “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe: Chronicles of Narnia” on April 25. Later, the church will screen “The Ultimate Gift” and “Amazing Grace.”
