Good Friday Zoom video party - The Jesus Film Project

 

Tomorrow evening we'll meet as church family for Good Friday.

Due to COVID restrictions on in person meetings, we'll have a Zoom video party, where together, kids and adults, we'll watch The Jesus Film Project.

We'll have an introduction time before the movie, followed by a prayer time at the end.


Jesus (also known as The Jesus Film Project) is a 1979 biblical drama film directed by Peter Sykes and John Krish, and produced by John Heyman. Jesus is described as the most-watched motion picture of all time, in addition to being the most translated film of all time.

Shot on location in Israel, the film was financed primarily by Campus Crusade for Christ and was released without production or cast credits, as producer John Heyman declared that the creators of this picture were “simply being translators” of the New Testament's Gospel of Luke, “so nobody will know who produced or directed the film.” The end of the film states that the Good News Bible was used during filming, and instead of telling a parallel story or embellishing the biblical account like other biblical films, the filmmakers chose to adhere to the Gospel of Luke as closely as possible.
