Cokeville Miracle - The Movie

Cokeville Miracle - The Movie

On May 16, 1986, an elementary school in Cokeville, Wyoming, was held hostage by a couple with a bomb.  LDS filmmaker T.C. Christensen, creator of 17 Miracles and Ephraim's Rescue, is bringing the powerful true story of the Cokeville hostage crisis to the big screen in The Cokeville Miracle.  Julie Elison, of the Wollochet Ward, Gig Harbor Stake, found that the nearest showing was in Idaho and is sponsoring a showing in our area June 29 providing a  minimum of 79 tickets are sold.  That night is Family Home Evening and this movie would make a great activity.  Please take advantage of this opportunity.
