Greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city.

Hi. I'm Monique, a photography student from Columbia College Chicago.

My primary photostream on flickr is HERE.

Copyright laws explicitly state that only the copyright holder can give permission to use their work. I have full rights to all of my photos.

You may not reproduce, repost, or derive any works from mine without written permission from me.

This photostream was created for the specific purpose of documenting my church, Metro Praise, in Chicago, IL. Our vision is loving God and loving people.

Metro Praise is a non denomination Christian church that I have started to attend since May 17th, 2009. I have chosen to photograph the activities and people here for my documentary photography class starting this coming fall 2009 semester at Columbia College.

I am documenting the amazing people and how God is working in all of us here because I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior and this church is truly doing His work and living for Him. The Lord has set me free from a prison this past May and now I will do everything I can to bring glory to His name. Therefore I will do all of my photographic works unto Him.

Bear with me as I take a million years to upload my photos. I take so many photos that it is very overwhelming to begin to sort through them and edit them. Please have patience as I do this.

If you would like to attend my church, learn more about what Jesus did for us, accept Jesus as your savior, or just talk to me about Him for any reason, please feel free to message me.
