Disciples Men's Fellowship

Our theater, the Chalice Palace, is doing quite well, with attendance around a dozen per screening. 

Next, on Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. is Saving God with Ving Rhames (known for the Mission: Impossible movies).  In this 2008 movie, convicted felon Rev. Armstrong returns back to his neighborhood a changed man looking to take over his father’s old church. The neighborhood is tough and full of drugs and gangs. Through Armstrong’s tough demeanor and strong faith he tries to make a difference with Norris —  a youth on the edge of falling into a lifetime of drugs and gangs.  Also, Armstrong must deal with his own past history of violence and make sure he doesn’t fall again.

Concerning the popcorn cook-off challenge, the majority of us concede to Pastor Joe as champ for 2011, but this is 2012!!!  Pastor’s going to have to do more than bacon flavored popcorn this time!

Some “fixer-up” projects we have planned are: Prayer Garden slat removal and replacement and cleaning the light fixtures in the fellowship hall.
