MOVIE NIGHT & POTLUCK SUPPER
Friday, November 22, 6:00 pm Directed by John Badham, starring Matthew Broderick, Alley Sheedy, and John Wood, Wargames challenges us to rethink our relationship with nuclear weapons and computers. Set in 1984, a high school student David Light man (Matthew Broderick) unwittingly hacks into a military supercomputer while searching for new video games. After starting a game of Global Thermonuclear War, Lightman leads the supercomputer to activate the nation's nuclear arsenal in response to his simulated threat as the Soviet Union. Once the clueless hacker comes to his senses, Lightman, with help from his girlfriend (Ally Sheedy), must find a way to alert the authorities to stop the onset of World War III. Please join us at 6:00 pm for a potluck dinner followed by the movie at 7:00 pm.

Community Connections
The Peterborough Lions Club, after years of doing so, continues to ask for donations of your old but not excessively scratched prescription eyeglasses. Now, they also have a gently used shoe collection. These donations can now be made at Mark Street United Church. There will be a box for eyeglasses and a separate large box for shoes on the landing between the two sets of stairs and under the coat rack when going up the staircase on the right in Friendship Hall. Drop your donations into the boxes so that they may be sent to many international locations who have the need.
Thank you for your anticipated involvement.
The Outreach Committee
The worship experience at Mark Street United Church is inspirational and informative. Our Organist and Choir members lead us in music, which sets the stage emotionally and spiritually for a richer experience. Our Minister guides us through a multi-media, thought provoking, scripture based service which helps us understand scripture and makes us understand its' relevance in today's world, as well as our role as Christians in our complex world. Children are engaged in our Children's area, story time with the minister, and then Sunday school with friends for more stories, crafts, games and fun!
