Every month, Hollywood Prayer Network hosts intimate monthly meetups in the Library of First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. On September 15th, we were so excited to have 9 friends, both old and new join Karen and Kelry for coffee, snacks, fellowship, and a time of prayer! These meetups continue to be encouraging and help industry professionals to gain a greater vision for the industry. And of course, everyone who joined received prayer. Our next meetup is Thursday, October 13th. For more information or to join us, email kelry@hpnemail.org
This growing group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month! On Tuesday, September 13, they began with a time of prayer before discussing scripture. The group then dove into their improvisation class, picking up where they left off two weeks ago with “7 lines.” This week they also began learning how to develop the plot twist, character roles, and functions. Everyone in the group took turns working through scenes to practice what they were taught! It was engaging and fun!
On Saturday, August 20th, 45 people gathered at Karen Covell’s house to have a special evening called “Dinner, A Movie, and You”, where local composers and artists were asked to submit a song or 5 minute clip from a film or commercial hat they wrote and orchestrated. There was dinner, great conversation, and powerful testimonies!
On Saturday, August 13th, Imago Dei celebrated it’s ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! With a huge cake and approximately 45 Industry Professionals gathered in the Mears center of First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, it was a beautiful gathering. A huge thanks to Blake Russell and The First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood who led worship. What a blessing that we have been able to come together with those in our community for these powerful worship nights for one full year! The next Imago Dei is Saturday, October 8th!

HPN prayer leaders pray for Industry Professionals on our Virtual “1st MONDAYS” PRAYER AND WORSHIP NIGHT. Timothy Kirschenmann led worship over Zoom, and then each of our attendees received at least 2 rounds of one-on-one prayer from an HPN prayer leader. We host these monthly prayer nights on the first Monday of the month on ZOOM to pray for and encourage industry professionals from all over the world who are in need of encouragement and a Word from The Lord.
