“Flywheel” to be presented April 26 at Crossroads Bible Fellowship
HENDERSON -- Family Night will be held Saturday, April 26, 6:30 p.m., at Crossroads Bible Fellowship with the showing of “Flywheel”. Jay Austin wants to sell used cars in the worst way -- and that’s exactly how he does business. He’ll do whatever it takes to sell a car -- even his wife and son can’t trust him. But as Jay works on restoring a classic convertible, he begins to see that God is working on restoring him as well and Jay begins the ride of his life as he commits to honoring Cod with his business, his relationships and his life.
Crossroads Bible Fellowship is located 1/2 mile north of the I-80 Henderson Exit. The film is free and refreshments will be furnished.
