Week of December 6th-12th

Fellowship and family fun

Some of my wonderful teammates have gotten together and planned out a fun family friendly movies night that you are invited to!  I unfortunately won’t be able to make it we are moving on the 16^th and have a little packing to do J PLEASE RSVP to Lori at lsmith@chapel.org if you WILL be attending.

Details:

Monday, December 13th @ 6:00 pm you are cordially invited to deck yourselves in red & green and come RELAX! Please plan to have an early dinner so you can gather in TGA at the Grayslake campus by 6 pm….because we will be showing TWO G-Rated movies:

1. Hachi: A Dog’s Tale A drama based on the true story of a college professor’s bond with the abandoned dog he takes into his home. Starring Richard Gere! Watch the trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2296906777/

2. Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium Molly Mahoney is the awkward and insecure manager of Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world. Starring Dustin Hoffman & Natalie Portman. Watch the trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2846949657/

Both movies are approximately 1.5 hours in length. We will start the movies promptly at 6:15…since it IS a school night. In the hallway, between the two “theaters” (2nd-5th room & K-1st room), we will have a:

• popcorn machine,
• lemonade on tap, &
• various holiday treats.

I have the rooms reserved from 5 to 9 pm…in case anyone wants to add to their FUN by arriving early to SET UP or STAYING LATE to clean up. Some have already asked if they can bring anything….YES, any holiday treats! I will supply the popcorn & lemonade/cups. I HOPE YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO COME! Hey…it’s not easy to find two G-rated movies that will draw a crowd of volunteers who have little kids all the way up to those who are enjoying grandchildren. BUT…I think you will enjoy at least ONE of these movies.
