Jesus Fest at Zabrocki Plaza and "The Chant"

On Saturday, August 17th, a group of friends completed their idea of gathering the community to celebrate Jesus. It was a collaborative effort representing more than 5 local churches and bands. 

The goal was to connect people to the great news message of Jesus. It was also to publicly pray for Tinley Park village leaders, Tinley Park schools and Tinley Park businesses.

Check out some quotes from our team members regarding the night. 

"From the moment we arrived, we noticed people were extremely curious of what was happening." - Christopher Tolbert (Jesus Fest Team Leader)

"It was awesome to be outside doing what we normally do inside. And, people enjoyed it, I think even the train conductor was able to get in on it." - John Ramirez (Tech Team Leader)

"Everything was beautiful and that's what Christ does when He shows up." - Erick Lashley (Video Team Leader)

"Seeing people worship amidst bars, streets and moving trains was an unforgettable experience. Mike Geraci (Music Team Leader) 

We are looking forward to next year at Zabrocki Plaza. We believe it will turn a city around. Everything should be better when Jesus shows up. We continue to pray for our village, businesses and schools more than ever. 

Amen
