Church Is Planning An ‘Exciting’ Father’s Day Event
BY GWEN HAYES Sentinel Editor
The Exciting Central Tampa Baptist Church has made plans for an exciting Father’s Day celebration.
With a new leader, Pas- tor Lennox Zamore, the men of the church are reach- ing out into the community to “get men out to bring their sons and daughters to enjoy a day of worship and fun. This is a family event,” said Keith L. Pope, who is a part of the committee spearheading the event.
The activities for the day begin with worship at 9 a. m. on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 17th, with a message from 2 speakers, followed by several outdoor activities.
The speakers are 3-time Welterweight Champion of
PASTOR LENNOX ZAMORE
Boxing, Julian Jackson, and professional power lifter, Big James.
“These are activities that most men will enjoy – car show, motorcycle show. And, we’re even having a “Grill-Off” to see who will be ‘King of the Grill’,” Pope said.
And that’s not all. The
event will feature lots of games, waterslide and other entertainment for the chil- dren. Several of the men from the church will interact in many of the activities with the fathers and children.
“We want the fathers to be seen as the center, heart and life of the family and community,” Pastor Zamore stated. He still re- calls the first outdoor activ- ity with his father at an outing, a bazaar in his hometown.
“However, we must re- member that this will be a sad day for many children. We will have dads on duty so no child is left behind.”
The church is located at 2923 N. Tampa St. (33602). For additional informa- tion, please call (813) 226-
2923.
