• There will be age appropriate activities for children and preteens, one being the movie, A Bug's Life, which also brings in the lesson of how we treat others.

In early 2010, TO SAVE A LIFE took over theaters nationwide. This independent film about teens and the choices they make in their daily lives quickly struck a chord with teens and families. Overnight, the film received a #1 Fandango Fan rating and maintained it for over a month. Critics and youth workers raved, families were changed, and viewers consistently commented: "Every teen and parent needs to see this film."

King's Grant Baptist Church has organized a special showing of TO SAVE A LIFE on Saturday September 11 in the sanctuary. This event is free and open to all in our community.

We are bringing this movie to our area because of the impact it cam have on the teenagers and families in our community. September is National Suicide Awareness month, and with the two local teen suicides during the 2009-2010 school year, we believe it is time to bring hope to families who are ready to go under.

TO SAVE A LIFE is the story of all-American teen Jake Taylor, who seems to have it all. But after a childhood friend's death, Jake's world turns upside down, and he is forced to make a decision that could change his life forever. TO SAVE A LIFE is about making unexpected choices and sacrifices, while having the courage and determination to persevere against all odds.

At some point, every teen has to decide: "What's my life going to be about?" TO SAVE A LIFE dares to bring that question into their world, encouraging them to answer it with boldness, honesty and compassion.

TO SAVE A LIFE has started a movement all across the country. In communities just like ours, groups are working together to make an organized effort to reach local teens in crisis. Groups like ours are dedicated to offering every teen the opportunity to see this film and hear its powerful message of hope.

In response to the topics brought up in the movie, King's Grant Baptist Church has organized a Fall Family Focus. The start of the fall series is the special showing of TO SAVE A LIFE. We have also organized several small groups that are designed to help parents and teens remap their destinies and change their lives forever. This will not only be a meaningful series but will be a chance for teens who may be dealing with some of these issues to seek counseling and help.

Thank you in helping us reach the youth of Virginia Beach.
