Special Events
Friday Movie Nights
Friends are warmly invited to enjoy a movie twice each month, at the meetinghouse, on the second & fourth Friday evenings of each month. We take turns choosing the movie. We gather starting around 7:00PM in Friendship Hall (downstairs) to chat and get our refreshments, then start the movie at 7:30 sharp. Snacks, friends, and movie ideas are welcome.
