Tammy highlights that since then, the organization has grown into a dynamic ministry with programs for performing arts, education, athletics, and career readiness. Eric talks about how Light the Night went from a small choir group singing outdoors, to the full-scale production it is today with students involved in every aspect, on stage and off. \n\nLight the Night will be on December 6th and 7th at 7 pm at the Christ Church at Grove Farm. It is free, but Tammy recommends to get there early to get a good seat!\n\nVisit https://uifpgh.org/ to learn more."}
