A Night To Shine Celebration

80 guests and parents/guardians and over 200 volunteers came out. We determined Night to Shine would be a success if God was glorified and everyone had fun. Both of these goals were clearly met! We heard such positive comments from families about how warmly they were welcomed from the moment they parked to the moment they left the prom all because the volunteers loved our guests with Christ's love. Please pray as we seek God's wisdom - asking Him if He desires we host in 2019. Pray that our guests and their families believe God loves them and if they're not in one, that they find a loving church home.
