  • Those wanting to preach on Psalm 8 and who use a video projector in their sanctuaries will find the awesome beginning of Contact a great addition. This approximately 4-minute clip starts with a NASA view of Earth: we hear the voices and sounds of TV shows, and then as the camera starts moving away from Earth faster than light, we hear radio broadcasts—of old shows, the voices of FDR and Hitler, and more. The sounds fade away as we move beyond the Solar System, pass through star systems, nebulae and galaxies. With careful rehearsing you could show this sequence as the Psalm is read: makes for an impressive backdrop.
    Of the current movies in which a team is sent out to accomplish a mission the new X-Men: Days of Future Past is probably most relevant. The theme of being called and sent, however, is probably best seen in the first of the series X-Men in which teacher Charles Xavier sees that each of the mutants should use the gift, not for his or her own advantage, but for fighting injustice and crime. Another recent film is The Monuments Men about a WW 2 team of soldiers with the important mission of saving art treasures from destruction by the Nazis. - Ed Mc Nulty, Visual Parables
