City Road Chapel UMC Preaches the “Gospel at the Summer Movies” in July

MADISON, TN – How would the Bible interpret the themes and characters of the blockbuster movies of the summer? Rev. Ray Newell, pastor of City Road Chapel United Methodist Church, will explore the movie plots and characters of four of the summer’s most popular movies from a Christian perspective on five Sundays in July.

“Movies have become one of our primary ways of conveying our cultural values,” said Rev. Newell. “Using Biblical themes, I want to examine these movies and reflect on where they follow Christian understandings or where they depart from or oppose Christian beliefs.”

“The Gospel at the Summer Movies” will follow this schedule:
July 1 “Spiderman 3;”
July 8 “Shrek the Third;”
July 15 “Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End”
July 22 “Evan Almighty”;
July 29 “Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix.”

Worship Services at City Road Chapel are held at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. City Road Chapel is located at 701 South Gallatin Road, at the corner of Gallatin Road and Neely's Bend Road in Madison.
