The Oscars came to Hilton

Last night saw around 25 of our young folk attend a special 'Oscars' evening, held in the Light House. The evening was great. Everyone dressed as if they were attending the Oscars for real, it was great. We had a four course meal, then the presentation of the 'Oscars', which then led us to the large hall of the church for the 'after show' party.

If you are wondering what the Oscars were all about, I shall explain...a bit like secret Santa in that the young folk picked someones name out of a hat (we used a cup instead) and instead of buying that person a present they had to think of something that person would win an Oscar for. So each person was presented with an Oscar and a certificate. See some photos below. The leaders were also presented with an Oscar.

It was such a great night and a great end to what has been (personally speaking) a pretty hectic few weeks. We have a great bunch of young folk in our church and last night proved it. Big thanks to everyone who helped.

Below are just a few photos which give you an idea for what the evening was like.

PS. It was Fiona's birthday too which is why she is blowing out candles.
