The pandemic has brought many new things like curbside grocery shopping, and virtual events. The best part is that we now can enter a worship service from anywhere in the world through a click of a button. If the saying, “y’all need Jesus,” was a season this would surely be that time. The latest opportunity for a day of praise is approaching and will be hosted by the gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds.

The show will go live virtually February 27^th and commence the following day. The show goes back to 1986, and over the years has gained attention and reputation of being a notable gospel performance. In an interview, the Special Projects Coordinator stated, “ The program is more than just a concert. It serves as an outreach activity to encourage African American youth to appreciate the many advantages of a CLC (College of Lake County) education while motivating attendees to better their communities. “

The concert over the years have gotten recognized by celebrities such as Kirk Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Tori Kelly, and many more. The show is usually a ticketed event, however this year it will be free for all those wanting to partake in a worship experience. It does require early registration, so go to their website and claim your spot.
