NOTES & NODS

Tuesday Table Talk  
On Tuesday, Dec. 3, Bethel Church in Sun Valley will show the film “Pay it Forward.”

In this gentle drama, young Trevor McKinney responds to a school assignment with a plan to help three people who will, in turn, help three more, and so on, in an ever-widening circle. But Trevor touches more people than he expected.

For the children, we will show at the same time two Veggie Tales – “Little Drummer Boy” and “Merry Larry & the True Light of Christmas.” The videos will be preceded by a potluck supper. The potluck starts at 6:30 p.m., the presentation starts at 7:15 p.m. followed by dessert and discussion at about 9:15 p.m. This is a free event. Questions? Call (818) 767-4488.
