🎬 Movie Night – TONIGHT (April 13th)

Join us this evening for Forrest Gump - a heartfelt classic about life, resilience, and unexpected journeys.

Come early, settle in, and enjoy a relaxed night with snacks and great company!

About the Movie:

Forrest Gump follows a kind-hearted man who, despite life’s challenges, finds himself at the center of many major moments in American history. Through his unwavering optimism and simple wisdom, Forrest experiences love, loss, friendship, and success—while staying true to himself every step of the way.

It’s a heartfelt story about resilience, destiny, and how even the most ordinary life can be extraordinary 🧡

🎬 Movie Night – Tonight

Join us tonight for our monthly Movie Night!

We’ve made a small change to our programming - instead of The Truman Show, we’ll be screening the classic comedy The Mask, starring Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz.

Before the film begins, enjoy a special pre-movie performance from the Friends of Music Society.

The Mask (1994) follows the story of Stanley Ipkiss, a shy bank clerk who discovers a mysterious mask that transforms him into a wild, larger-than-life version of himself. Packed with hilarious antics, cartoon-style chaos, and iconic Jim Carrey moments, it’s a fun and energetic film that’s sure to bring some big laughs.

Come relax, enjoy some snacks, and spend the evening with community.
