The Easton Wesleyan Church will be hosting a Fun Family Hour on Wednesday, March 9, at 6 p.m., based on the “Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader” movie.
Family members will watch clips from the movie, join in singing great songs, explore special secret treasure maps and meet in family groups for discussions. This is open to everyone.
Families are encouraged to attend together, but children can come and join another family group if the whole family cannot come. If you have any questions, call Pastor Vaughn at 227-3589.
