LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lakeport Christian Center will feature the movie “Faith Like Potatoes” on the big screen at 6 p.m. Sunday, May 5.
The public is invited to attend this free event.
“Faith Like Potatoes” is a 2006 South African biographical drama film based on the 1988 book of the same name written by Angus Buchan.
Regardt van den Bergh wrote and directed the film, which stars Frank Rautenbach, Jeanne Wilhelm, Hamilton Dhlamini and Sean Michael Cameron.
The film follows Buchan and his family’s move from Zambia to South Africa and chronicles his Christian faith throughout that time.
Set in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Buchan leaves his farm in Zambia in the midst of political unrest and racially charged land reclaims and travels south with his family to start a better life.
With nothing more than a caravan on a patch of land, and help from his foreman, Simeon Bhengu, the Buchan family struggles to settle in a new country.
Faced with ever-mounting challenges, hardships and personal turmoil, Buchan quickly spirals down into a life consumed by anger, fear and destruction.
Finally, his wife convinces him to attend a local church, where the testimonies of other farmers influence his decision to give his life to Jesus Christ.
His outlook takes a complete turnaround, and supernatural occurrences begin to happen when Buchan prays in faith.
He begins giving his testimony in different towns, and eventually gathers thousands of people in Kings Park Stadium for a time of unified prayer for the nation and for the land.
Traditionally a maize and cattle farmer, Buchan decides to plant potatoes. Scientists had warned the farmers not to plant that season unless they had irrigation. Because of the unprecedented drought, planting potatoes would be a massive risk.
Believing he is led by the Lord, he plants potatoes in the dry dust. When harvest time comes, there is a crop of giant potatoes.
Lakeport Christian Center is located at 455 S. Forbes St.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The fifth annual World Labyrinth Day will be held on Saturday, May 4.
World Labyrinth Day is an annual global event celebrated each year on the first Saturday in May, sponsored by The Labyrinth Society, an international organization founded in 1998.
Labyrinths are thought to enhance right brain activity, and uses include problem solving, conflict resolution, walking meditation, modern day pilgrimage, and stress management.
The American Cancer Society states that labyrinths "may be helpful as a complementary method to decrease stress and create a state of relaxation."
Research studies conducted in a variety of settings consistently have shown that walking a labyrinth reduces stress. In fact, over the past few years, this has been the most commonly reported finding related to the so-called “labyrinth effect,” according to John W. Rhodes, Ph.D., president of the Labyrinth Society and former chair of The Labyrinth Society Research Committee.
In southern Lake County, currently two events are highlighted.
A seven circuit outdoor labyrinth, specially created by Holly Hand beneath towering fir trees in downtown Middletown, at the corner of Calistoga Street (Highway 29) and Armstrong will be staffed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on World Labyrinth Day.
An asphalted area, for ease of walking, was chosen by Hand next to a meadow of lupines to be transformed to a 32-foot labyrinth and also available will be tables of finger labyrinths, for those with limited mobility, courtesy of 2 Women Traders.
Thanks to Sutter Lakeside Hospital staff who approved the use of the area across from Grinder’s Steep at the request of Middletown Community United Methodist Church to highlight World Labyrinth Day.
The Rev. Peggy Thompson will direct people in a dance to "warm up the labyrinth" just before it opens to the public for walking at 10 am. Refreshments will be served. For questions or additional information call 707-295-7174.
Also on May 4, in southern Lake County at the Positive Living Center-Labyrinth Peace Garden at 19568 Spruce Grove Ext., Hidden Valley Lake, Hand will facilitate walkers who can gather in the parking lot near the labyrinth at 12:50 p.m.
This site is Just off Hwy 29, opposite the members only gate into Hidden Valley Lake north of Hartman Road. For questions or additional information call 707-987-6610.
The Labyrinth Society invites the world to “Walk As One at 1” in an attempt to create a wave of peaceful energy moving around the planet.
To participate, people are invited to walk a labyrinth at 1 p.m. in their local time zone. Many large group events are planned, but no event is too small. Individuals who wish to participate may use a finger labyrinth in the comfort of their home.
While the origin of the labyrinth is unknown, labyrinths have been found all over the world dating from earliest antiquity.
Once popular in the Middle Ages, labyrinths have been experiencing a resurgence in popularity.It has become increasingly common to find labyrinths in schools, prisons, parks, hospitals, spas, churches, prisons and retreat centers.
The World Wide Labyrinth Locator, www.labyrinthlocator.com , an online database, lists more than 3,400 labyrinths around the world.
Day information and resources are available on The Labyrinth Society’s Web site at http://labyrinthsociety.org/world-labyrinth-day .
