Redeemer City Church DC is thrilled to host Night to Shine for a third year. We continue to be humbled and amazed by the way God has grown the worldwide movement of Night to Shine sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Volunteer opportunities are available to anyone who wishes to "Stand with Us" in love and support of celebrating people with special needs. We are in greatest need of Volunteers to serve as buddies to our honored guests to ensure a safe and enjoyable evening, and so no one feels excluded in any way.
Thank you, in advance for making Night to Shine so amazing and for giving so many of God's beloved children the opportunity to truly shine.
NIGHT TO SHINE is a night not only for guests to shine, but for churches to shine, for volunteers to shine, and most importantly for Christ to shine. Night To Shine is:
- A worldwide movement sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation;
- Changing Valentine's Day weekend from a celebration of love, to a celebration of God's love for people with special needs;
- An unforgettable prom night experience;
- A celebration of the value of life;
- A night when all honorary guests are made kings and queens of the prom; and
- Held simultaneously on one night around the world... FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 09, 2018
