Unconditional Love
Monday, December 1st, 2008
The Fellowship Hall was recently transformed into a movie theater setting for ladies of all ages to enjoy an evening of affordable fun and fellowship. Rumor has it that there were even sightings of Will Smith and Donkey from Shrek peering over the crowd. Against a backdrop of delicious hot popcorn and a variety of concessions the women of KCBT held a Ladies Night Out, featuring the movie “Martian Child.”
“There’s nothing you can do that would change the way I feel about you,” says the character of a widowed young man considering the adoption of a foster child who thinks he is from Mars. As you can imagine the foster child is socially rejected and abandoned. During the intermission Women’s Ministry Leader Julie Moline spoke to the ladies in attendance about how this heartwarming story of an adoptive father’s persistence to assure the young boy of his love presented a unique picture of God’s compassion and unconditional love for each of us today.
This event had a two-fold purpose. First, the ladies of KCBT used this opportunity to invite friends, neighbors and co-workers to enjoy fellowship together. Second, along with the theme of the movie, unconditional love, the ministry of Rachel House Ministry was highlighted by its director, Kathy Edwards. Rachel House Ministry is a non-profit organization with 3 locations in the Kansas City area. With compassion and kindness, Rachel House Pregnancy Resource Centers are dedicated to helping meet the needs of those who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy by offering a variety of services and assistance. Proceeds from tickets and concessions, totaling $500, will be donated to the Rachel House Ministry.
