BEWARE OF CHRISTIANS
Alex, Matt, Micheal and Will have grown up as Bible believing Christians who did all the right things. As they have grown older, they have realized that the Jesus does not look like the healthy, wealthy, American Jesus they have been trained to know and love. They soon realize that their biases and allegiances to worldly things have determined their views on Christianity. So, they decide to leave their homes in the US for a while and reexamine what Jesus says about certain issues that face young people.
Saturday March 3 @ 7pm
BLESSED & CURSED
Starring: Deitrick Haddon, Kiki Sheard, Bobby Jones, Drew Sidora, Sheryl Lee Ralph
A modern twist on the biblical Story of David and Saul, Blessed & Cursed depicts Dwight Hawkins (Detrick Haddon) struggle to realize his God given purpose. Compelled to help his father after his dreams are derailed, Dwight must choose between family obligations versus pursuing his own dreams of gospel music superstardom. Dwight is caught in a scheme of jealousy.

THE ENCOUNTER
Stranded in the middle of nowhere, five strangers find themselves in a deserted roadside diner because of a road closure. They all come face to face with a diner owner who serves them more than just food. This host knows all of their secrets, knows exactly what they would like to order and possesses the answers to all of their problems – if only they would trust him. The Encounter is a unique tale about the opportunity we are all afforded . . . to accept salvation through Jesus. It is a miraculous Encounter that will change their lives forever.
Sunday March 4 @ 7 pm
SOULMATE
For those still waiting to exhale, Soulmate is a gripping cinematic journey into the realities facing today’s successful, saved, and single African American women. This deep and personal portrait reveals the trials, and triumphs of unforgettable women while offering hope and practical advice on such issues as loneliness, the desire for sexual intimacy, men on the “down low”, the ticking biological clock and the uncertainty of the future. This film offers uplifting revelations about the quest for finding your true Soul- mate.
