Tampa Attorney Is Spreading His Wings From The Courthouse To The Pulpit
Opening service of Vertical Renewal is Sat- urday, November 12, 2022, 5 p. m.
Tampa Attorney Nor- man Harris is spreading his wings as he launches an outreach ministry in re- sponse to the increasing need for spiritual, positive social change and commu- nity support.
An invitation is extended to all to attend the grand opening of Vertical Renewal, on Saturday, November 12, 2022, 5 p. m. – 6:30 p. m.
The service will be held at Bible-Based Fellowship Church (Carrollwood), 4811 Ehrlich Rd., Tampa, 33624.
“Vertical Renewal will uplift and strengthen the fab- ric of our community through ministry, music and initiatives that support and empower,” says Vertical Re- newal’s founder and Senior Leading Servant, Norman Harris.
Expected to join the Grand Opening service are: Grammy award-winning songwriter, producer, and musician, Michael Mathis; Grammy award-winning producer and musician, Alonzo Harris, and Or- chard-Sony Music Entertain-
ment recording artist, Alex Harris, who will be provid- ing music and leading praise and worship for the service.
Internationally acclaimed author, lecturer, and motiva- tional speaker, Dr. Antipas Harris, will be assisting with ministerial functions at this opening event.
Creating a spiritual com- munity that encourages, em- powers, and engages healthy living and service to others while nurturing self-growth through personal and com- munal experiences of God’s love has long been a vision on Harris’ heart to bring forward.
In the past year, Nor- man and his wife, Alicia Harris, made headlines and appeared on the Steve Har- vey Show with their ‘COVID love story,’ finding love and getting married during the pandemic.
Shortly after marriage the
breast cancer being in remis- sion and birth of their mira- cle child, Journi, have become an awakening mo- ment for the couple, inspir- ing them to want to give back and help encourage others. Norman and Alicia hope that their story brings inspi- ration and hope to others who may be experiencing hardships.
Harris is an educator, writer, public speaker, lec- turer, attorney, and ordained clergy. He has appeared as a legal commentator on TV
networks and serves on nu- merous boards throughout Tampa Bay. As an attorney, Harris practices criminal and personal injury law in the state and federal courts. He holds a Doctorate in Ju- risprudence from Mercer University School of Law and a Master’s of Divinity from Candler School of Theology (Emory University).
