Movie Matinee

Movie Matinee

All Saints - Saturday, March 22

All Saints (2017) is based on the true story of sales executive-turned-priest Michael Spurlock (John Cornbett of TV’s Northern Exposure), rector of a tiny, dying Anglican church in Smyrna, Tennessee who has been ordered to shut it down. If he successfully completes this task he will be rewarded with a prestigious position in a church in a large city. Instead, he attempts to save the church, as well as a group of Anglican Karen refugees from Myanmar who have recently joined the congregation.

Please join us at Kingston’s smallest cinema, the St, Mark’s Parish Hall, for this PG-rated show, on Saturday, March 22 at 3:00 pm.

Admission and snacks are all for a free-will offering to benefit St. Mark’s.
