For more info about Corrie ten Boom watch the following 2013 documentary or the Hiding Place movie from either:

1.  Corrie ten Boom :  A Faith Undefeated - Documentary made in 2013 - 1 hour
This documentary recounts this unforgettable story of when Nazi forces invaded Holland in 1940 and began rounding up Jews, and how Corrie ten Boom, her sister Betsie, and their elderly father risked their lives to save as many as possible.

2 The Hiding Place - starring Jeanette Clift George (founder of AD Players) and Julie Harris.  Released in 1975.
The true story of a family that fought the Nazi madness with the only weapon they had. Love. Golden Globe nomination.

The meeting takes place in the Connection Center at The Loop Campus. Come explore some of our nation’s most important historical sites and discover the new Museum of the Bible on this tour open to adults from every campus of Houston’s First. Our tour hosts are Minister of Education Ben Pritchett, Director of Women’s Ministry (The Loop Campus) Carolyn O'Neal, and Houston’s First members Peggy Bain and Drew Walters. This meeting is not required to go on the trip, but you’re encouraged to come learn about this tour and ask any questions you might have.




Alpha Vision / Information Gathering 
Saturday, October 26th @9am
Alpha is coming to Houston’s First! But...What is Alpha? Alpha is a series of sessions (often hosted in someone’s home) exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. There are three core components to every Alpha group:
good food, short focused talk on a topic related to Christ, followed by a discussion regarding the short talk. Our church sees Alpha groups as a great tool to connect with our “Ones” whom we have been praying for over the past several months. We will be hosting a vision /informational gathering on Alpha Groups on Saturday, October 26th.  The informational gathering will be followed by a short training session for those interested in starting / leading their own Alpha group. More information about the Saturday meeting will follow.
