In the past year, we've been invited to free movie screenings about six or seven times. We always try to go if we can. If we don't respond to the offers quickly enough, we may not get the opportunity to go. I believe last year, we saw four free movie screenings. Sometimes my hubby and I go alone. Sometimes my son and I go. And sometimes all three of us - and often hubby's step-daughter - go as a family.
How do we get invited to free movie screenings? We signed up with Grace Hill Media
From their web site:

If you'd like to attend free movie screenings for movies that are family friendly, or movies that if they don't emphasize our beliefs they at least don't go against them, click on the link above and sign up for their newsletters and invitations.
Tomorrow, my son and I will be attending another movie screening while my hubby attends his men's small group/Bible study. Unless, of course, hubby decides to play hooky from small group and go with us.

Here's what the invitation said:
Inspired by a true story, director Edward Zwick's epic World War II drama DEFIANCE tells the tale of three Jewish Eastern European brothers (Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell) who narrowly escape certain death at the hands of the Nazis. The year is 1941, and the setting is Nazi-occupied Poland. The Final Solution is in full effect, and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being slaughtered wholesale. Tuvia (Craig), Zus (Schreiber), and Asael (Bell) have miraculously managed to escape into the dense surrounding forest. Having played in these woods since childhood, the brothers have a distinct advantage over their adversaries, and soon decide that simply surviving is not enough. In order to make a difference, they must take action, but in order to take action they will need support. As whispers of their bravery take wind, others like them appear determined to lay their lives on the line for the cause of freedom. DEFIANCE is a moving story about faith and courage.
Many of the free movie screenings we see are kid friendly, but probably not this one.
Thanks for sharing.
