GUILD HALL PLAYERS TO HOST FILM SERIES
The Guild Hall Players will host a free once a month film series at St. James beginning in January 2009. The theme for the series is "Movies and Spirituality" —which sounds very serious, but we intend to deal with that theme very broadly with dramas and comedies. We want your input on which movies to watch and when. If you are interested, please pick up a copy of the survey on the table in the Bridal Corridor, complete it at your convenience, and return it to Phil Speary or Louise Brinegar.

HOPE CHEST
The Junior Daughters of the King Hope Chest, which is just outside the nursery, is currently accepting new and gently used scarves, gloves, and hats for any age, to be delivered to the Wichita Children’s Home. Cold weather is coming and we need to be stocked in time to assist those in need. Thank you for your generosity.
