MANCHESTER, CT (December 6, 2005) – Trinity Covenant Church has arranged a special screening of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at a local theater as an evangelistic outreach to the community’s youth.
The church has purchased tickets for all 280 seats and the theater will show the movie at 9:30 a.m. December 17, says church youth pastor Phil Beatty. The church is selling tickets for $5 a pair, with one ticket to be used by a church youth and the other to be given to a non-Christian friend.

After the movie, someone will share the Christian message of the movie and all will be invited to the youth group, Beatty says.
If your church is doing something special in connection with the release of the movie, scheduled for December 9, please let Covenant News Service know by emailing newsdesk@covchurch.org or calling Stan Friedman at 773-907-3324.
The current issue of The Covenant Companion features several articles related to the book and its author, C.S. Lewis, including one by former North Park University Professor of English Daniel de Roulet who relates the book to modern conflicts. Bob Smietana says C.S. Lewis wasn’t the person some evangelicals may think. And, Catherine Barsotti and Robert Johnston review the film.
