Thou shalt do the dance

Our movie tonight at church was “Evan Almighty,” which I never got around to seeing at the theater, so I was happy to turn out for it tonight. My parents saw it in the theatre and absolutely adore it.

It was, in fact, an awful lot of fun. As a fan of “The Daily Show,” I found it even more fun — not only Steve Carell but Ed Helms and Rachael Harris as reporters, and even fake TDS clips with Jon Stewart making fun of Carell’s character (“EVAN CAN WAIT,” reads the graphic over Stewart’s shoulder).

And of course, Morgan Freeman is …. Morgan Freeman, which is pretty much all you need to say.

Here’s the buzz

Posted on by

From September through May, my church has a Wednesday night program centered around a catered meal, which is surrounded by various activities including a Bible study, choir practices, children’s activities and what have you.

Some people have wished we could carry the program through the summer months, but with warm weather, longer days and vacations, our attendance drops off below the minimum required by the caterer.

Last year, however, we did start a different Wednesday night program during August: “Movie and a Message.” Each Wednesday night during August, we have a family-friendly movie, a light meal (sandwiches and munchies) prepared by the church, and a very brief devotion or activity emphasizing themes from the movie. Tonight, we’ll start the second season of this with “Bee Movie.” I’m looking forward to “Evan Almighty,” which I never got around to seeing, in two weeks.
