Pastors during Heritage Celeberation

On Sunday, September 22, 2008, more than 200 people gathered at the “heart of Lakeland,” the intersection of Lakeland Road and 51st Avenue, between two historic churches, for Lakeland Heritage Day, a time of celebration and remembrance. The focus for that year’s celebration was the importance of religious life in the heritage of Lakeland. The featured event of the festivities was an outdoor worship service with participants from all of Lakeland’s churches: the First Baptist Church of College Park, the Embry African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Washington Brazilian Seventh-day Adventist Church, and the Salvation African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Pastor David Barrozo of the Washington Brazilian S.D.A. Church and the Rev. Dr. Edna Canty Jenkins of Embry A.M.E. Church were photographed during the event.
