Oscar Night!

Oscar Night- Ladies Group at Cornerstone!

These are all ideas and itinerary for the evening's events. I do not have the devotional,
6:00 – Welcome, red carpet, stars on ground, tables set up with candles,  glass, flowers, crystal, sparkles, plates, black napkins
Before the big night I bought a subscription to JibJab, an online site that allows you to put faces in the movies, dances, etc.  It cost $12. and it provided an evening of great fun!  You just have to preview their videos, some you would not want.
I had taken photos of most of the congregation for our directory, so I used those photos to surprise everyone in attendance as they were featured in our evening's performances!!


the night began


MC – welcome to our first Oscar night celebration!  We have a fun evening ahead, some great food and fellowship, and most important a time to share Gods word.  We are going to start with a lovely meal, some fine dining. While you eat we have some movie trivia attached to your glasses, see how many questions and answers you can find. Some glasses have the answers and some have the questions! You may have to visit another table to answer them all!
Now,  we have  une salade croustillante fraîche   , le pain enfonce, and et les lasagnes or pepites de poulet with a sherbert dessert .   During our time of fine dining, we will be taking some photos of the Oscar dresses at the Oscar star pavilion sign.  Please join with me as we praise God for his provision. Pray
Ladies Fellowship as we eat.

Around 6:30-6:45
Oscar night is filled with beautiful gowns, stars, glamour, and wealth.  We too have a room filled with beautiful things.  Unlike Movie stars, we may not flaunt our wealth, or worry about aging, or starve to achieve that size 2 dress size. We are not concerned with the fluff that Hollywood is concerned with, because we know that true beauty is within us, true beauty comes from God.  We want to begin first and foremost by including God in our night’s celebration.  God’s word is the best trophy we can claim, and with that, ***** will be bringing our devotional for the evening.
*** Pray and thank God.
Devotional by Special Speaker
The night continued

There have been wonderful movies that have touched lives in various ways. And so, I have a game for you.  I will be playing quotes from various movies.  You will have a challenge to write as many of the names of the movie they are from.  They go fast, so you will have to really move your pencils to keep up!
Quote game
Oscar night is a night filled with anticipation and prizes!  and a select few get rewarded with the highest prize of all! The Oscar!
Oscars are given out to best actor, best movie and so on. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize actors because of the costumes and make up, so, you have to look carefully to identify them.  But anyway, without further ado, we would love to have our first Oscar Night presenters introduce our first Oscar category.    (dance video)

1.       Best choreography-  Many long hours and practice go into getting dance routines ever so precise.  There were so many excellent dance routines to choose from, but let’s look at the winning routine….Starring in tonight's presentation; **********……. roll the tape!

And the winner is ___________ what a voice! What talent!  Speech!
3.       Movies would not be movies if it wasn’t for the action parts!  The next film has so much action it is sometime difficult to see every actor involved and the difficult moves they exhibit!  I am sure you will enjoy… Starring********….. roll the tape!  (soccer game)

                Quote Game
6.       And now for the final category. Best actress.  Occasionally there is a film that shows us action, suspense, wonder.  But the film isn’t much without the actors.  So tonight you will see some great acting ability. Starring ********…. Roll film  (Jowls .. this one I had to edit on my photo program)
And the winner of best actress is______________  how did you do all those leaps and bounds??
Quote Game
We want to end the evening with a prayer and then one more treat. Let’s pray-
7.       Awards are wonderful and Oscars are such a treat.  But sometimes our award isn’t a trophy or a gift. Sometimes our award is just a moment of time, a captured memory.  So tonight, I want to take a few of you back in time, back to the memories of your youth.  This is that special gift from me to you. Something that when you leave, you will keep with you for all time.  
With love dawwling!   Roll film!   (Pastor and wife in Sonny and Cher's "I've got you babe")

And with that I say good night! Thanks for the memories!
