This special movie event will be centered around the movie with the famous line "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!".   The movie "A Christmas Story" is now the most popular film in America, with 50 million viewers annually on cable and TV alone and 9 million copies sold on DVDs.  

We will watch A Christmas Story together starting at 11 am (please arrive at 10:45am) and then be joined by Quentin Schultze who learned from the movie screenwriter (when they taught at Calvin together) how this movie includes a series of parables.

Please bring your own chair if it is more comfortable than the chairs we have in the great room.
