film, “Hoovey,” at 6 pm. When promising high school basketball
player Eric “Hoovey” Elliott collapses on the court, doctors discover a lifethreatening brain tumor. Hoovey will survive the high-risk surgery, but at
what cost? Can he relearn to walk, read, even to see clearly? The road is
long, and meanwhile overwhelming medical bills threaten to undo everything
his parents, Jeff and Ruth, have taken a lifetime to build. With seemingly no
one to turn to—but with tenacity and love born of faith—an entire family
regains its footing. Hoovey learns to read again, to dribble and shoot a
basketball and, finally, stepping out in faith, he’s back on court for another
shot at his dream. This is a great opportunity to invite your family, friends,
and neighbors to an event at the church. Cost is $5 per person, and you
can reserve your spot at the Welcome Desk.

March 25th, during club at the Olympian Bucks Store.
