Each church puts their own spin on things, but most include a red-carpet entrance with a warm welcome from a friendly, but noisy crowd and paparazzi, a buddy to escort the guest of honor through their evening, hair and makeup stations, limousine or sports car rides, karaoke, a catered dinner, a Sensory Room, a Respite Room for parents and caregivers and dancing. The evening normally ends with a crowning ceremony where every guest is honored as a king or a queen – the way God sees them every day.
Woodbine Church hosts Night to Shine every year in Pace and this year, it was unforgettable. On Feb. 7, about 600 attendees experienced a night to remember, including VIP Honorary Guests, buddies, parents, caregivers, vendors, military and first responders.
