Past Events

The 3-day HPN LOCAL CHAPTER DIRECTORS SUMMIT was more than we could have hoped for!  We had 60 International Local Chapter Directors from 9 different countries all gather in Hollywood for a powerful three days of vision casting, a great Keynote speaker, panelists, a guided tour of Hollywood’s Christians roots, prayer walks, studio tours and the most amazing worship and prayer imaginable. We are praising God for our global volunteers who are going to change the world through their excitement, wisdom and understanding of the influence of Hollywood and their culture-shifting prayers from around the world.  If you would like to lead a local chapter in your city, please email us for more info!  Myesha@hpnemail.org

On Tuesday, July 26th, Twenty- Five actors gathered  for intentional prayer and community at the home of Jim and Karen Covell.  The topic of the night was depression. They had a very meaningful time reading Bible passages about the topic and talking about various times in their journey as an actor when they had experienced depression.  If you would like to join the next Stagelight Actors gathering, please email Stagelight@hpnemail.org

On Saturday, July 22nd, HPN’s writers’ group Prologue met in The Library at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. Led by Rebecca & Joel Russell, this group is for writers of all kinds! Three new guests joined for light nosh and drinks, fellowship, introductions and the opportunity to share works-in-progress. We opened with prayer, shared many challenges, especially re-writing old work, and read “A Liturgy for Writing” from “Every Moment Holy.” We closed with prayer for each person and their projects.

The next Prologue meeting will take place Saturday, August 26, 1-3pm in The Library. For details, email prologue@hpnemail.org 

On Thursday, July 13th a great group of creatives joined our Monthly Meetup led by Karen and Kelry!  This gathering included a time of fellowship, hearing one another’s stories,  snacks, and of course prayer! Following each meet-up, all guests are connected over email and encouraged to get to know one another!  Our next HPN Meetup is Thursday, August 10th at 11:00 a.m.  If you would like to attend the next one, please email Myesha@hpnemail.org

On Sunday, July 9th, Montage held their monthly meeting at the home of Steve and Kate Erkel.  This month’s gathering was wonderful and included four new editors!  Each person in attendance was given the book, Turning Small Talk into Big Talk, by HPN member Jan Janura.  The next Montage meeting is on Sunday, August 27th at 1:00PM.  For more information, email montage@hpnemail.org

On Friday, June 23rd, approximately 85 people gathered together for a Night Of Worship led by Michelle and Dan Lutz.  Not only were there adult worshippers, but there was also an entire youth worship team made up of teens between that ages of 15-17 who also joined!  The Lord really touched them and they were also able to receive prayer at the end of the evening. These worship nights are open to the public so all are welcome!

The next worship night is being planned for late summer!  Stay tuned to our HPN website for more details!

The actors group, StageLight, had their first outing this month. A group of 15 showed up for the summer event Jazz at the LACMA. These were the only pictures snapped, but a big thanks to everyone else that came out! StageLight meets the last Tuesday of the month for a night of prayer and fellowship and every 2 months they go out to do something fun and artistic together in the city!
