Movie Event Is A Hit In Berlin

by Sherry Bowman Kluck
On Friday, October 25, more than 60 people gathered at the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Berlin for a viewing of “Home Run,” the story of fictional baseball star – and alcoholic – Cory Brand, whose abusive childhood set him on the road toward personal destruction. Attendees of the movie event were treated to popcorn, soda, cookies and other snacks, all provided free of charge through the Church’s teen outreach, The Landing. Based on the Christian treatment program Celebrate Recovery, which is featured in “Home Run,” The Landing helps teens overcome their hurts, habits and hang-ups and recently celebrated its one year anniversary at the Seventh Day Baptist Church. Although “Home Run” deals with very serious topics, the October 25 event was a positive experience for all, as they learned more about the hope that is offered to our local youth through The Landing program.
