The East Side:
Charleston's East Side neighborhood is a tight-knit community that is looking for peace on their streets. People from outside of their community are bringing drugs and violence into their community. Community leaders are joining together to take back their once quiet neighborhood. The East Side is a beautiful canvas of races, faiths, and great diversity.
Pray for the people that live there, that they have the strength and courage to overcome and that they can find new ways to build together as a community. Pray for the community leaders of every faith that lead the East Side, that they may work together in harmony for the better.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
1 John 1:7 (NIV)
