Hollywood Christmas at Memorial

Wednesdays of Wonder's Three Christmas Movies
Watch three Christmas movies and join the discussion afterwards.  How did the movie make you happy, sad, angry, hopeful? Join us on three separate Wednesdays - December 2nd, December 9th and December 16th, 6:15 pm to 8:00 pm.
Share soup and bread at 6:15, followed by a 20 minute showing of the movie. (If you haven't seen it, call us to arrange for you to see a copy beforehand).
Wednesday, December 2nd: White Christmas (1954). With Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Irving Berlin.  A successful song-and-dance team become romantically involved with a sister act and team up to save the failing Vermont inn of their former commanding general.
Wednesday, December 9th: The Bishop's Wife (1947). With Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven. A bishop trying to get a new cathedral built prays for guidance. An angel (Cary Grant) arrives, but his guidance isn't about fundraising.
Wednesday, December 16th: It's a Wonderful Life (1946). An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would had been like if he never existed.
