 Sacred Cinema - This Friday Our next Sacred Cinema will take place THIS Friday, January 27th at The Place. From the producers who brought you "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof", comes "Courageous", the compelling tale of four law enforcement officers who are conflicted both on the mean streets of the city they protect, and at home where they are each trying to raise a family.
