As I mentioned in yesterday’s post South Side Speaks recently helped organize a major community event in the South Side- Light Up Night!
Since we began meeting months ago we have been praying that God would grant us favor with our community- which obviously includes community officials- this event was definitely an answer to our prayers.
A few weeks ago we were approached by the South Side Chamber of Commerce to help organize the very 1st ever South Side Light Up Night and of course we were all in! They had gotten word of how well the Fall Festival had turned out that we did on Halloween and invited us to not only play a major role at this light up night, but in the future as well!
It’s great to know that we are being seen as a positive influence in the community and that these business owners and govt officials are recognizing that we genuinly care about the South Side and are in it for the long haul.
Thanks Jesus! And now some pics from the night for your enjoyment…

You KNOW I had to get in on the festivities!
And of course we needed some carolers!
I would just like to give a shout out to our SSS team- you guys are amazing to serve with! <3
