The “Light On The Hill” Awards & Jazz Affair, on July 19, was just one of the events to take place during Central Baptist Church’s three-day 123 Anniversary Celebration. The day featured jazz from some of Pittsburgh’s top artists while some of Pittsburgh leaders received awards for their work in the community. MARK STRICKLAND, on jazz guitar, was just one of the many artists who helped Central Baptist celebrate its 123rd anniversary.
