Movie Night - May 20th 7:00pm Fireside Room

Babette’s Feast

In 19th century Denmark, two adult sisters live in an isolated village with their father, who is the honored pastor of a small Protestant church that is almost a sect unto itself. Although they each are presented with a real opportunity to leave the village, the sisters choose to stay with their father, to serve to him and their church. After some years, a French woman refugee, Babette, arrives at their door, begs them to take her in, and commits herself to work for them as maid/housekeeper/cook. Sometime after their father dies, the sisters decide to hold a dinner to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth. Babette experiences unexpected good fortune and implores the sisters to allow her to take charge of the preparation of the meal. Although they are secretly concerned about what Babette might do, the sisters allow her to go ahead. Babette then prepares the feast of a lifetime for the members of the tiny church and an important gentleman related to one of them. Written by Ed Cannon from IMDB

Church Phone System Down

The church phone system went down this afternoon, so if you try to call the church you most likely won't get through even to leave a voicemail. For the time being, if possible please use email to get in touch with the staff. Our main email account is wedgpres@wedgpres.org  Sorry for any inconvenience. We will work on getting it fixed as soon as possible.
