🌟 Easter Movie Night – “Were You There?” 🌟
A powerful film by the world‑renowned Gracias Choir

This Saturday night, we want to take time to reflect deeply on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As Easter approaches, it’s important for us to pause, rethink, and truly remember the love that Jesus showed when He died for our sins and resurrected for our justification.

The movie “Were You There” was created during the pandemic, when churches around the world could no longer perform the Easter Cantata in person. The Gracias Choir — known worldwide for their beautiful music and heartfelt performances — produced this film so the message of hope could still reach people everywhere. Even when the world was locked down, this movie entered homes across many nations, touching hearts with the power of Jesus’ sacrifice and the glory of His resurrection.

This film is more than a performance — it is a journey.
It takes you into the upper room with Jesus and His disciples…
To the quiet, trembling prayers in Gethsemane…
To the suffering of the cross…
And finally, to the joy and victory of the empty tomb.

The reason we are bringing this movie to Albany is simple:
We want our community to experience this same hope, comfort, and joy.
The Easter Cantata has brought tears, smiles, and healing to audiences around the world, and we want to share that blessing here with our friends, families, and neighbors.
🍿 Free popcorn provided!

Come out and join us as we watch this beautiful film together.
Let’s celebrate the power of our Savior, reflect on His love, and prepare our hearts for Easter.

All are welcome — let’s enjoy this meaningful evening together.
