NRN Showing of The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry

A unique and special opportunity has come our way. Here is the story:

Last Sunday at NRN a member of our church (Patty Benzie) gave me a clipping from her local newspaper about a new Christian film coming to the Garner Towne Square 10 on Friday February 19th. The film is called "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry." I am a big fan of Gavin MacLeod in Christian films since I saw him in the movie "The Time Changer". (I have this movie on DVD)

I decided to investigate the film to see if I could preview it and consider recommending it to our family at NRN. When I used the contact information on the website for the film I was contacted by a representative that lives in the area. Here came the special opportunity.

They had been working and praying about a location for a showing for pastors and lay leaders in the North Raleigh area. That preview showing in going to take place at NRN this coming Sunday - Sunday - February 14th - at 6:00pm.

This is a FREE showing for the church family of NRN and local pastors and leaders from across the area. The Connection Cafe will open at 5:30pm with free refreshments. Childcare for children seven years and younger will also be provided.

We will be promoting the viewing on Sunday morning and encouraging people to come and see for themselves the impact a Christian film can have. We will then encourage individuals to invite friends to join them in the opening weekend of the film on Friday February 19th. The film was released earlier (September 18, 2009) with great reviews and endorsements. Now, the film is set for re-release. This is truly a unique opportunity to preview this heart moving family film.


The movie is about twelve year olds Dustin (Jansen Panettiere), Albert (Frankie Ryan Manriquez), and Mark (Allen Isaacson) are best buddies looking forward to a summer of fun in 1970.Dustin has a crush on Tanya (Bailey Garno) and wants to ask her out on a date, something he has never done before. His main obstacle though is Nick (Taylor Boggan), the town bully, because Nick likes Tanya too. When Dustin mows the lawn of Jonathan Sperry (Gavin MacLeod), an elderly man he has seen at his church, a new friendship develops.

What happens the rest of this summer is something Dustin and his friends...will never forget.

Make plans now to join us on Sunday evening at 6:00pm

for the FREE preview screening of

The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry.
