UPLIFTING THE COMMUNITY WITH MUSIC AND CELEBRATION

In February, community members lled the sanctuary at Jesus Name Apostolic Church in Waukegan to attend CLC’s Salute to Gospel Music Concert. Performances by Grammy-nominated artist Jekalynn Carr, CLC Gospel Music Choir and JIC Praise Team brought the audience to their feet. Community leader Angelo Kyle was honored with the Harambee Award of Excellence. Kyle serves as president of the Lake County Forest Preserves.

“Salute to Gospel celebrates the Black community of Lake County and gives people a chance to see world-class artists close to home,” said Vice President of Strategy, Planning and Support Dr. Derrick Harden. “It’s a fun, upli ing and inspirational experience. Being in the presence of a gospel artist as talented as Jekalyn is something everyone should experience.”
