HANNIBAL – Hannibal-LaGrange University (HLGU) will host three free showings of “Courageous.” Movies will be shown in the Parker Theatre of the Roland Fine Arts Center. Movie dates are Sept. 22 at 7 p.m., Oct. 17 at 3 p.m., and Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.
Writer, director, and lead actor of the movie, Alex Kendrick, will be the guest speaker at the 71st Annual Hannibal-LaGrange University Booster Banquet on Nov. 16.
Courageous is the most recent and most successful of the Sherwood Pictures films. The movie centers on the lives of four Memphis police officers who, in the midst of tragedy, begin to question their faith and roles as husbands and fathers. Together, they make a decision that changes their lives. Woven with humor and founded on Biblical truth, this story line holds something for everyone.
HLGU’s 71st Annual Booster Banquet will be Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. in the Mabee Sports Complex. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the meal will be served at 7 p.m.
Price for a general admission ticket to the banquet is $60 if purchased before Nov. 1, when the price rises to $80. Once again this year an Executive Ticket for the Booster Banquet is available. This special ticket includes reserved parking, admission to a special private reception with Kendrick from 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m., and a special reserved seat at the banquet. Attendees of the private reception will be able to meet Kendrick and have a photo taken with him. Price for an Executive Ticket is $150.
