Outdoor Family Movie Night

Sunday, Nov. 15 at 5:00 PM | Cornus Cottage Lawn

IOHUMC Children’s Ministries invites you and your family to an outdoor viewing of Toy Story 4 on the Cornus Cottage Lawn.

We’ll have popcorn, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and cookies. We would love it if you dressed up as one of the Toy Story characters or brought one of your favorite stuffies. Bring a blanket or chair to sit on. If it’s chilly, you might need a blanket to wrap up!

There’s no charge, but we do need you to register so that we will know how much food to provide. Monetary donations are appreciated.

Any questions, contact Beth Parr at bparr@iohumc.com or 912-663-7466.
