This fall, we’re bringing back Movie Nights on the fourth Friday of each month at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Since our church building was once a neighborhood movie theater, these events are a natural way to welcome the community into a familiar space and give people a chance to experience church in a relaxed, approachable setting. It’s a simple way to share the hope of Christ, through stories that spark conversation and connections with friends, family, and neighbors.

This month’s feature is “How to Train Your Dragon”, the story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the unlikely son of a Viking chief who chooses a different path when he befriends a Night Fury dragon. Their friendship challenges the assumptions of his village and opens the door to change, a theme that reminds us how courage and compassion can transform lives. The film is rated PG, and we encourage parents to check reviews on Common Sense Media or contact our Family Ministry Director with questions.

Movie Nights are free, but because they’re popular, each person needs to reserve their own seat in advance. Popcorn, candy, and drinks are available, with a donation box nearby for those who’d like to help cover costs. Be sure to reserve your seats, and consider inviting someone new - Movie Night is one of the easiest ways to help a friend experience Riverstone for the first time!
