Fall means football season and this week’s movie night is all about those Friday night lights. Our movie is a story of some of life’s best lessons being taught on the football field. Our family was truly encouraged by Woodlawn.
This movie tells the true story of a high school in Birmingham, Alabama in the 1970’s and a coach facing a team plagued by racial tensions. This is a beautiful example of how Jesus can bring healing and peace where mankind has failed. You’ll be cheering from your couch!
I read the book about Woodlawn a few years ago and found the movie to be inspiring and touching.
I enjoyed turning our table into a football field for this movie. When my family walked in, they immediately knew the theme of the night!
Here are the places you can find these items to set a similar scene:
Vase and attachment
The little pennant was a Target Dollar Spot find. I thought the purple flowers played well against all the green.
Our fall napkins are a nice fit for any football-related celebration!
Dinner was inspired both by football food and one of my favorite Trader Joe’s finds of the season… these fall leaf tortilla chips. Aren’t they the cutest?
I set up a simple nacho bar with pulled pork and everyone created their nachos to their own liking. This was effortless and so delicious.
It’s hard to truly improve on nachos… but with festive chips they are over the top!
For our movie treat, I created this fabulous fall snack board. It had everything from salty to sweet to pumpkin spice. We loved snacking on this throughout the movie.
This movie had a cute table and a mouthwatering meal, but the best memory was snuggling on the couch and going through such a moving true story together. It’s so meaningful to me when a movie is able to start important conversations with our family, and fit in some life lessons. Woodlawn is a must-see.
