Spring Church Retreat
March 20 - 22, 2015
Tuesday Afternoon at the Movies
February 24th, 2:00pm
The movie Radio is the story of a high school coach and the
developmentally challenged man he took under his wing.
Football coach Harold Jones
befriends Radio who becomes a
student at T.L. Hanna High
School in Anderson, South
Carolina. Their friendship extends
over several decades, where
Radio transforms from a shy,
tormented man into an
inspiration to his community. The
movie is a true story inspired by
events in the 1970’s in Anderson,
South Carolina. Much of the
movie was filmed in Walterboro,
South Carolina. Cuba Gooding, Jr.
plays James Robert Kennedy who
was nicknamed Radio because of his radio collection. Jones
played by Ed Harris is as good example of the difference one
person can make on another while changing the attitudes of
others.
Members of our church family will gather at Santee
State Park on March 20 - 22 for our church retreat.
This will be a time for spiritual enrichment, outdoor
activities, games and fellowship. Cabins and campsites
