Faith on Film Series: Chariots of Fire

On Saturday, October 19th at 6:30pm in the Parish Hall, the Faith on Film Series will present the 1981 film, Chariots of Fire. In the class-obsessed and religiously divided UK of the early 1920s, two determined young runners train for the 1924 Olympics. One is a determined Jew and other a devout Christian. 

Eric Liddell, a devout Christian born to Scottish missionaries in China, sees running as part of his worship of God's glory and refuses to train or compete on the Sabbath. Harold Abrahams overcomes anti-Semitism and class bias, but neglects his beloved sweetheart in his single-minded quest to win Olympic Gold. Both characters, in their drive to win in the Olympics, wrestle with issues of pride and conscience. 

The film is rated PG and is 2 hours long. All families are invited! 

Thank you to the Knights of Columbus for hosting and sponsoring this event!
