Blue Like Jazz Movie


As Spring quickly turns into Summer we are hoping to to view this movie as a class and then discuss it.  It is not showing anywhere near us (although we tried to convince them to bring it here!), so that may mean waiting for the DVD to be available.  Until then, here is a helpful article that describes the movie and why we think it might be important for us to watch and discuss.  Other movies on our upcoming movie night list?  Stay tuned!  Ideas include…  October Baby, Justin Bieber Never Say Never (JUST KIDDING!), How to Die In Oregon, Notes from A Tilt-A-Whirl – what suggestions do you have?  We will be giving you a schedule for the summer/fall of 2012 soon!

Collision – The Movie


Remember how we mentioned the movie Collision on Sunday morning? The documentary features pastor Doug Wilson facing off against publicly-known atheist Christopher Hitchens. Check out the movie’s website here. Please comment below to let us know if you are interested in viewing this together as a class. Thanks SixTen!

SixTen Views The Big Country


We had a wonderful time together at the SixTen movie night, where over 40 people showed up to watch a movie that was promoted as…”A movie none of you have ever seen, and all of you will love.” Pretty high standards to live up to, and even though the movie was long, almost all of us stayed conscious (and even engaged!) throughout the entire thing! Nate gave a great intro before the movie started, helping us to be on the lookout for themes of loyalty, biblical manhood and biblical womanhood. With those themes in mind we were able to discover and discuss things we might have missed otherwise. Favorite lines included: “Well isn’t this a Frosty Friday” and more importantly: “I am not responsible for what people think of me, I am only responsible for who I am.” Thanks to all who attended and brought snacks – we so enjoyed having you over to our home (we watched the film in the garage to fit everyone) and look forward to our next gathering! And if you missed it, we hope you’ll be there for our next SixTen movie night where we view a movie and discuss it from a Christ-centered perspective. Blessings!
