According to our projectionist, this is a really good movie. Come and check it out and see if you agree. Concessions are also available with popcorn, candy and pop for sale at reasonable prices.

It's that time again blood donors. Another blood drive is scheduled for Monday April 20 at Valley Bible Church, 1-6 p.m. Make an appointment and be entered to win one of two $5 gift certificates from Mochas & More. If you wish to just show up on the day of the blood drive, you can still have a chance to win as two more certificates will be given in a random drawing. This is quite a fellowship gathering and the Red Cross folks get a kick out of the party atmosphere.
