This month’s movie night feature is "Woodlawn". In 1973, newly desegregated Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Alabama, had its first black football players - like Tony Nathan, a gifted running back. Viewers are introduced to Tony, Coach Tandy Gerelds, and Hank Erwin, a sports chaplain affiliated with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes who wants to work with the team to inspire them to "come to Jesus." Hank shows up and asks Coach Gerelds for time to speak to the team; Gerelds gives him five minutes, and when he returns to the gym an hour later, Hank is still there and has miraculously converted nearly the entire team to evangelical Christianity. Newly rededicated to their faith, the team transforms into a true brotherhood, putting their friendships - and their football - above racial differences. Inspired by his team, Gerelds also professes his faith, and the team, still guided by Hank, works together to play for the glory of God. Rated PG, we encourage parents to check reviews on Common Sense Media or reach out to our Family Ministry Director for more details.
