FAITH MISSION HOSTS “ONCE UPON A PROM NIGHT”

  

This past Saturday, Faith Mission hosted Once Upon A Prom Night for participants of Brenham ISD Senior high school class. Once Upon A Prom Night is a new ministry at Faith Mission. Teaming up with Brenham High School’s Emily Henkhaus, Jennifer Fuchs, and Officer Richelle Malinowski-- the ladies of the senior class were sent an email questionnaire about prom and selected ladies were given a princess experience. Thanks to generous sponsorship from L4 Cares, Williamson County, who donated over 100 brand new dresses of all styles, and sizes and several other fabulous donors- the ladies had a prom dress shopping day and fitted for any needed alterations held at Higgins South. On the day of prom thanks to Evvaylois Academy School of Beauty, the ladies were treated to hair styling, nails and make-up professionally done, and joined by surprise guest- celebrity stylist Giacomo Forbes to add a special addition of glamour for the big day. Following the pampering the ladies joined together with all beauty professionals and event organizers at Faith Mission’s Cannery Kitchen for a fellowship luncheon, hair and make-up touch ups and photos from Spectator Photography’s Yvonne Tomlinson. Joining the luncheon was special guest Pastor Rosemary McLean, who came to say some words of love and a special prayer over the ladies before going off to their big evening. Once the ladies where all dressed in their best and ready to go the ladies where given gift bags thanks to the donations of Blue Bell Ice Cream, Sonic and Jet Set Chocolates as well as given their corsages by Brenham’s Wildflower Florist.
