Last night’s Takin’ It to the Streets was amazing! Our evening was filled with laughter, good food, games, dancing, basketball and wonderful fellowship with our Highland Park community. 💙

A very special thank-you to the volunteers from Mount Vernon Church for helping with this outreach. Your time, energy and servant hearts helped make the evening so special!

We’re also incredibly grateful for our community partners, Boaz & Ruth and Saving Our Youth RVA, for joining us in serving and bringing our community together.
Thank you to everyone who came out and shared in the fun. This is what loving God, loving people and building community looks like! 🙌
