‘LOVE IN ACTION’ TO ASSIST CHURCH DEVASTATED BY FLOOD

            Ministers, pastors and members of the Tampa Bay Community came out to display ‘love in action’ for an East Tampa church recently devastated by flood waters.

A benefit to assist the church was held at St. John Progressive Missionary Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Bartholomew Banks, pastor. The guest speaker was Rev. Dr. Evan Burrows, pastor of First Baptist Church of College Hill. The First Baptist Church of College Hill Mass Choir gave musical selections. Among those in attendance from left to right: Rev.
