Lunch will be served at noon and the movie will follow.

Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot. The film tells the true story of a small, rural community in East Texas where members of the town’s church joined forces to adopt all of the children in their county’s foster care system — 77 in all — in the late 90s and early 2000s. It focuses on the pastor of Bennett Chapel, W.C. Martin, and his wife Donna. Reeling from the sudden death of her mother, Donna feels a religious call to channel her pain into love by adopting children in need. Along with her husband and sister, they inspire the congregation to heed the call as well. “We can’t look away,” they tell their community, and ask social workers to give them the children no one else will take.
