Movie Matinee at St. Mark's

Come and join us on Saturday, October 17th at 2:00p.m. in the parish hall of St. Mark’s-Barriefield (268 Main Street, Barriefield/ Kingston East, K7K 6W4 – off Highway #15, near CFB Kingston) for the movie “AMAZING GRACE”.
Snacks provided. 

Amazing Grace is a 2006 biographical drama film directed by Michael Apted, about the abolitionist campaign against the slave trade in the British Empire, led by William Wilberforce, who was responsible for steering anti-slave trade legislation through the British parliament.

The film also recounts the experiences of John Newton as a captain of slave ships and subsequent Christian conversion, which inspired his writing of the poem which was later used in the hymn “Amazing Grace”. Newton is portrayed as a major influence on Wilberforce and the abolition movement.

Admission and snacks are included for a FREE-WILL offering to benefit St. Mark’s Church.
