The young adults have been sharing the message that you can be a part of Jesus’ family and have fun by, enjoying soft music and lis- tening to clean jokes at the same time; while at the same time maintaining the utmost level of Christianity. They’re asking those who attend to wear “all-white,” but don’t let that be a hindrance to keep you away.
Minister Larenz John- son, who is hosting the event, is excited about what the event can do for other young adults in the commu- nity. “This unforgettable Kingdom experience is open to the public,” he said.
Kandace Nunn-John- son, Coordinator of the evening, said she is excited about those who will share their crafts during the evening. “Expect great per- formances from Christian co- median, Scott Simpkins, the Tampa native quartet group, Tyrell Pittman & the Tampa Boyz, plus Tampa’s jazz sensation, The Beat Down Band.”
