FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES features a weekly full-length film shown by wide-screen projection in the Atrium of St. Peter's Central at 7:00pm. Free popcorn is served!

Coming up Aug. 29: This Man Must Die (France, 1970) – One of famed director Claude Chabrol's best. After his young son is killed by hit-and- run, we watch the father slowly plot his revenge and track down the driver. Murder is a complicated thing and Chabrol is the master of the plot twist, so you can sit back and enjoy this knowing full well you are in the hands of a master.

SISTERS OF THE CIRCLE will meet Aug. 26, at 7:00 p.m. in St. Peter's Central.

TOUR THE CATHEDRAL after the 10 a.m. service on Aug. 31. Learn about its history, listen to some of the stories, have an opportunity to step up into the pulpit or gather around the altar. All welcome! Meet your tour guide, Kevin Hughes, in the marble area at the front of the church after the service.

READING THE STORIES OF OUR ANCESTORS This summer you are invited to read and discuss the saga of Abraham and Sarah's family tree. We will meet at the Atlanta Bread Company (179 1st Avenue N.) on  August 13, 20 and 27. Those who want to share a meal together will arrive at 6:30 p. m., and those who just want to talk can arrive at 7:00 p. m. We'll be on our way rejoicing by 8:05 p. m.

These discussions do not need a lot of preparation or a theological background. We will be looking at these stories through a literary lens. That is to say we'll be asking: What is the plot of this story? Why is it ordered in the way that it is? How are the characters described? How can I learn from what they say and what they do? What effect does the point of view of the narration have on my understanding of it? Does it make a difference who tells the story or on what character the storytelling is focused? AND through these questions we may well get into discussions about our own families of origin or choice or adoption.

The citations for the readings are posted online (see below) and available at the Welcome Cart on Sundays. It would be helpful if we knew how many people to expect, so please call the Cathedral Office (822-4173) if you plan to attend. This is a great way to meet people, have some good conversation, share an inexpensive meal, and not spend a lot of money on gas! Parking for Atlanta Bread Company is next door in the city parking garage; the cost is $1.00.

SUMMER BISTRO: JUNE-AUGUST AT ST. PETER'S CENTRAL After the 10:00 a. m. service throughout the summer, the Evangelism Committee will create a "bistro" atmosphere, where people can sit and chat, enjoying coffee and refreshments. We would like individual members or households to take turns hosting a Bistro event throughout the summer, by providing refreshments. During the Bistro time, children will be invited to participate in PB&J Time (Peanut Butter & Jesus). We also would seek to have a different family host the PB&J Time each Sunday, to offer refreshments and a child-friendly activity. We will have an early-bird Bistro after the 8:00 a. m. service. If you would like to host the Bistro or the PB&J Time, please call the office at 822-4173 to sign up.

ST. VERONICA'S GUILD regularly meets each Wednesday, at 1:15 p. m. in Room 105. All needle workers are invited. The guild needs members to needlepoint kneelers and other pieces for the church. If you want to learn to needlepoint, lessons are available. Anyone is welcome to the meetings, to work or to visit. For information on donating a kneeler as a memorial, contact Margaret Jacobs at 525-3083, or Carol Cowen at 898-6820.
