Why Light of the World
Bringing Light, Joy and Unity to Our Community
Why Light of the World
The Light of the World Car Light Show Parade was created with a simple but powerful vision — to bring light, joy, and unity to our community.
​
In a time where so many people feel disconnected, this event is designed to bring people together in a meaningful and memorable way.
The Heart Behind the Vision
Light of the World was founded by Dr. Adolph Ludd and Dr. Bessie Ludd, pastors of New Direction Church in Marietta, Georgia.
​
With a heart for the community, they believe the true work of the church happens beyond the walls of the building.
​
Their mission is to bring people together, strengthen families, and create environments where love, joy, and peace can be experienced by all.
More Than an Event — A Movement
This is just the beginning.
​
Light of the World is more than a parade — it’s the start of something that will grow, impact lives, and bring lasting change to our community.
