Lent Film Night - The Third Man

Start: 19:00

End: 22:00

Every Thursday in Lent we are holding a Film Night in the training suite at the church. We have selected films that we hope will stimulate discussion. The plan is to arrive at 19.00 for coffee and to start the film at 19.30. After the film it would be good if you could stay and have a chat about the film. All are welcome at the film night and we plan to start with a classic Carol Reed's The Third Man with Orson Welles.

If you are interested in coming along and would like more information please contact Alison Holt on minister(at)kingstonurc.org

We are still looking for How green was my valley (1941), Shadowlands (1993) and Ghost, the documentary (Channel 4). If anyone has these and is willing to let us borrow it for the evening, please let Alison Holt know.
