Determined to raise funds to build a new cathedral Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) prays for guidance. His prayers appear to have been answered when a suave angel named Dudley (Cary Grant) arrives on the scene.

When Henry’s wife (Loretta Young) becomes a little too fond of Dudley the bishop is eager for the angel to go back to heaven.

Pet worms and composting

Kids get to interact with the worms and learn exactly which types of food to give them and which to avoid. For the final 10 minutes of the workshop kids can interact with their new pets and parents can ask any worm-related questions they’ve thought of during the workshop.

For ages 5 and older. Space is limited to 15 children. Please call 355-2858 to reserve a spot.
