First Congregational Church\, United Church of Christ\, Rochester is hosting a showing of the movie \;Jesus Revolution\, free of charge and open to the public on Friday\, November 10\, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. The church is located at 1315 N. Pine Street\, Rochester.
\n\nRated PG\, the movie tells &ldquo\;the story of one young hippie'\;s quest in the 1970s for belonging and liberation that leads not only to peace\, love\, and rock and roll\, but that sets into motion a new counterculture crusade &ndash\; a Jesus Movement &ndash\; changing the course of history. Inspired by a true movement\, \;Jesus Revolution \;tells the story of a young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) being raised by his struggling mother\, Charlene (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) in the 1970s. Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Inadvertently\, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie)\, a charismatic hippie-street-preacher\, and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) who have thrown open the doors of Smith'\;s languishing church to a stream of wandering youth. Rock and roll\, newfound love\, and a twist of faith lead to a &lsquo\;Jesus Revolution&rsquo\; that turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world\,&rdquo\; according to Rotten Tomatoes.
\n\n&ldquo\;Now is a good time to look back and revisit this moment in history\,&rdquo\; commented Pastor Scott Cunningham. &ldquo\;Everyone is welcome to stay after the movie for a discussion\,&rdquo\; he added.
