The movie “Home Run” will be shown for free at 7 & 9:15pm on Friday September 6th at the FOX Pavilion in Hays. After years of hard partying and reckless living, a DUI and team suspension, professional baseball player Cory Brand makes a desperate effort to save his career. Forced to coach the local Little League team and spend eight weeks in a faith-based recovery program, Cory must face old wounds, new adversaries . . . and the love he left behind.
The movie’s message of hope in confronting addictions of every kind offers timely help. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says more than 18 million Americans struggle with alcohol addiction, 3.6 million with drug addiction and 16 million with compulsive sexual behavior. Clearly the need is there for help and encouragement in battling addictions. Celebrate Recovery, founded 20 years ago at Saddleback Church in California as a Christian 12-step program, already counts 19,000 chapters worldwide including Celebration Community Church in Hays which meets on Mondays at 7pm.
But in addition to offering hope to any family affected by addictive behavior, HOME RUN scores as an entertaining movie as well, with humor, drama, romance and baseball. It features an exciting cast including Scott Elrod and Vivica A. Fox .
Christian author Max Lucado writes, “Home Run” reminds us of the power of forgiveness, the richness of redemption and the wisdom of trusting God to revive us.”
The film is rated PG.
