NEWS & NOTES
Family Movie Night
	November 14, 2025 6:00 to 8:30 at Salem UCC Family movie night will be held at Salem UCC. We are showing the movie King of Kings which was in the theaters in the spring of 2025. It is an animated story about Jesus’s life. We would like both the parents and the children to stay for the movie. At 6:00 we will have a nice meal together. Chicken alfredo with broccoli, garlic bread and a salad. The children will have plain noodles in addition to broiled chicken. There will be snacks and drinks provided throughout the movie time. There will be a separate room available to any children that may need some time away from the movie. We will have activities for the children to do during the movie time. The children and parents are welcome to come in their PJ’s and relax. We will have a new rug placed on the floor for your comfort. Bring your own chairs, pillows and blankets. If you could RSVP (text or leave a message for Terry at 6104067005) or Stephanie Hubler for the movie night we will be able to determine the amount of food that we need to have for that night.
