Hollywood to Host International Prayer Event for Christians in Entertainment

An international prayer event will take place in Hollywood for Christians involved in the entertainment industry.

Led by London members of Artisan Initiatives and a team from the Hollywood Prayer Network, the event will encourage people to pray for the industry, all the Oscar nominees and for Hollywood itself.

The prayer event will be held during the Oscars weekend Saturday 24 February at the Hollywood Presbyterian Church from 6pm-9pm (PST).

Recently, Hollywood star Jennifer Hudson raised the bar of Christianity in Hollywood as she celebrated her success in the week leading up to the Academy Awards at her family's church.

The Oscar-nominated Dreamgirls' actress said: "I'm not having no club party; I better have a praise party."

Hudson, 25, headlined a gospel concert, "An Evening of Praise With Jennifer Hudson", accompanied by the acclaimed Soul Children of Chicago.
