November Movie Night!
Featured Film: The Man Who Planted Trees
Friday, November 21, 2008, 7:00 pm
Location: At the home of Marti & Dominic. Please contact the church office for directions.
The Man Who Planted Trees tells the story of a solitary sheperd who patiently plants and
nurtures a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid
surroundings into a thriving oasis. Undeterred by two World Wars, and without any
thought of personal reward, the sheperd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with
the greatest care. As if by magic, a landscape that seemed condemned grows green
again. A film of great beauty and hope, this story is a remarkable parable for
all ages and an inspiring testament to the power of one person.
