Movie Night at the Safford Home Theater

Film ReelIt is that time of the year again to begin the movies. Everyone knows of the Cannes Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, but soon to be world known will be the Slowdance Film Festival. All the other festivals come and go in a few days or a few weeks, but no, the Slowdance Film Festival takes eight to nine months to be held. The movies might be fast and furious, slow and easy, touching or comedic but the discussions by our fabulous leaders are always interesting and the fellowship after the movie is quite wonderful. The Slowdance Film Festival begins in October.

Each month on the Third Friday of the month we host a movie in our home theater. It has been going on for about 10-11 years now and is open to all church goers. There are seats for 25 available by signing up through the church office. Sign-up starts at the beginning of the month each time. We will begin the season in October on the 21st with the movie starting at 7:30 PM. The last date will be in May on the 18th with the grand Golden Gung Ho Chinese buffet dinner before the movie. We ask for a two dollar donation to cover pop/water/popcorn and desserts.

If you would like to bring a friend along that is fine. Even bring a spouse if you would like or a significant other. We are asking that when you sign up to give us/the church your email address so that we can contact you if plans suddenly change for any given movie. We will use the email addresses only for movie info notification or change of date.

The movie titles will be published each month online and in the Bulletin and Tower Bells.

Please join us for a great season of the Slowdance Film Festival.
