Watch Parties Start Friday March 3!   The Chosen is a seven-season episodic television series that creates an authentic and intimate picture of Jesus’s life and ministry, seen through the eyes of the people who knew him. Starting Friday, March 3, at 6:30 pm we’ll be hosting “Watch Parties” where we’ll watch one episode a time from season 1. There will be popcorn and drinks available for everyone, so bring the whole family. Everyone is invited!
