hope.  Through an unexpected challenge he learns to trust God to do the
impossible on the field and off.  "Facing the Giants" is rated PG.  This will be
shown during the normal "Teen Time" at the LP Studio.  Admission, popcorn and
nachos are free, beverages are available for purchase.  Bring your friends to
