"Risen" film follows the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius, a powerful Roman Military Tribune, and his aide Lucius, are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem. You will enjoy this different portrayal of the Passion of Christ. Of course, popcorn will be served. Join us Thursday, August 24, at 6:00 p.m. in the Lower Hall

Your baby's arms, hands, fingers, feet and toes are fully formed. (S)he can open and close fists and mouth. Fingernails and toenails are beginning to develope, and the external ears are formed. The beginnings of teeth are also forming. Your baby's reproductive organs are also developed, but your baby's gender is difficult to distinguish on ultrasound. By the end of the third month, your percious baby is fully formed. All his/her organs and extremities are present and will continue to mature in order to become functional. The circulatory and urinary systems are working and the liver produces bile. At the end of the third month, your baby is about four inches long and weighs about one ounce. Since your baby's most critical development has taken place, your chance of miscarriage drops considerably after three months in the womb. Please continue to pray for your spiritually-adopted baby.
