Cheap, portable screen

Walmart special on an
inflatable twelve-foot 16:9 projector screen. It's meant for outdoor viewing, and has an auto inflating pump. Not bad for $200.
It's kind of unconventional-looking, but if you need a big screen, on a budget, for a portable church situation...

I saw those. and almost got one, but so far, everywhere we have done anything outside with a projector, there was always a screen area to project to (a wall or something available that would work).
Maybe for the back yard.

There are several churches in the area that rotate a community movie night under the stars. People flock to them with blankets and plop down in the grass at sundown for a good family movie. If your church can afford it and loads of popcorn, you can draw people to minister to.

That's a really good idea!!

Oooh, I think so too! I wanna do it! That would be fun to do at my house, a cool way to reach out to neighbors! Now if only I had a bigger yard and a next door neighbor who wouldn't call the cops on me if I tried it....!

Called the cops on you for what? unless you have the sound up too loud, there wouldn't be anything illegal about it.

It wouldn't be illegal for sure, but I have no doubt he would complain anyway. He called the cops last night because an oil can next to the fence had it's lid blown off and rain made the oil spill and leak under his fence (which I can't blame him for not being happy about!). But he marched over here and BANGED on our door and yelled, scared us and the babies half to death. We didn't answer the door. (Prior to this he threatened to shoot us because my teen brother - not realizing it was a no-no- backed up a little bit into his yard. We were leaving to head to the hospital for the baby's birth! Now, would YOU have answered the door?). Next thing we know there's a policewoman at the door. She said he was cordial and calm and harmless. Of course he is, towards her!
Anyway, I think I'm gonna make some banana bread and try to make amends. Hopefully he likes banana bread!

He should...sounds like an Ape to me!!
You might consider a small tape recorder if he has been threatening to you but not the police.

If he doesn't like banana bread than he's a communist left over from the cold war! Everybody likes banana bread!
