Movie Night - St. Peter's Episcopal Church

St. Peter's Movie Night
2025

Time Changer
June 25
Film length: 2 hours; 10 minutes
We kick off this year’s movie night a week early this year, with an educational documentary on creation. What exactly happened at the "Creation," at the "Beginning?" Genesis: Paradise Lost captures the Creation week with cutting-edge cinematography and biblical accuracy bringing the first chapter of Genesis to life! Using vivid CG animation, stunning visual effects, epic orchestration, the latest scientific and historical research, and interviews with experts and PhD’s, this epic film delivers an incredible, thought-provoking investigation into the hotly debated topic of our origins.

In the beginning...God!

In our first of two Christmas in July entries, I Heard the Bells is the inspiring, true story behind the beloved Christmas carol and the song’s author, America’s beloved poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Known as America’s Poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow leads an idyllic life…until the day his world is shattered by tragedy. With a nation divided by Civil War and his family torn apart, Henry puts down his pen, silenced by grief.

Film length: 2 hours; 13 minutes
As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, Dietrich Bonhoeffer is swept into the epicenter of a deadly plot to assassinate Hitler.

Will his shift from preaching peace to plotting murder alter the course of history or cost him everything?

Average Joe
August 13
Film length: 1 hour; 50 minutes
High school football coach Joe Kennedy has always been a fighter. He had no other choice. Abandoned by his biological mother, Joe spent his childhood fighting through the cold realities of foster care and group-home life. At 18, he finally found a home for his warrior spirit: in the Marine Corps, where he served in the Gulf War. Following a distinguished career in the Corps, he returned home not realizing that his biggest battle was yet to come. After retiring from the Marines, Joe felt led by God to help coach high school football--where he could pour into a generation of young men the love and guidance he so desperately sought at that age. Retired, happily married, building into kids as a strong role model... it all was finally coming together for Joe. Until he prayed. Joe was fired. For praying. Silently. By himself. After the games.

His Only Son
August 20
Film length: 1 hour; 44 minutes
His Only Son recounts one of the most controversial moments in the Old Testament-when Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son Isaac on the mountain of Moriah. While traveling with Isaac and two servants, Abraham is flooded with vivid memories from the years he and Sarah spent longing for the son they were promised-the son he must now lay upon the altar.

Heaven's War
August 27
Film length: 1 hour; 34 minutes
HEAVEN'S WAR is the story of freshman U.S. Senator Jonah Thompson. Jonah’s work as a senator gets him caught up in a battle between real demonic forces and the forces of good, including the angel Gabriel. Will Jonah recognize his life’s true savior, or will he give in to temptations and sin? The supernatural battle of good versus evil described in the Bible is dramatized in the movie. Christian viewers will recognize Christian theological orthodoxy in the teaching of Gabriel.
