PLEASE NOTE:   With our apologies, we have to change the “usual” date once again, from the 3rd Friday to the 2nd Friday.

Continuing our fall Politics in the Movies theme, Don and Caryl Safford will present The Candidate, a compelling 1972 satirical dramedy starring Robert Redford, Peter Boyle, and Melvyn Douglas. Rotten Tomatoes, giving the film a 95% favorable rating, describes it as “a gritty, documentary-like tale of an idealistic, good-natured attorney [Redford] whose high standards are soiled by his run for political office." Tapped by a political hack (Boyle) to run against a seemingly unbeatable senatorial incumbent in California, this political neophyte at first seems overwhelmed by the political machine that directs his every move. But then, cautiously, he begins to assert himself…with surprising results. Is the theme of this movie timely in today’s political world?  We should enjoy a lively discussion answering this and other questions as well.

Contact the church office by phone, email or in person to sign-up now. Refreshments will be served; a $2 donation is suggested.

All are welcome to join our seniors Lunch Bunch group for lunch Downers Delight at 75th Street and Fairview Ave. We will meet at the restaurant at 11:30 a.m. If you need a ride or have any questions, please call Bonnie Lehmann at 630.308.2259 or the church office. The sign-up sheet is available in the parlor between worship services. Those in attendance are responsible for paying for their own meal.

This fall you are invited to join an all church book study featuring Fear of the Other:  No Fear in Love by William H. Willimon. In this book, Willimon invites readers to consider the gospel command to love (and not merely tolerate) those considered to be “Other” or outside mainstream Christian culture.

The study will run for five weeks and books can be purchased for $6.00 in the church office.
