This Sunday there is a chance for you to go out and support one of the greatest players to ever play for the Pack. According to the Franklin Press Tommy Burleson will be the guest speaker at First Presbyterian Church in Franklin, North Carolina.

“At the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services, Burleson will speak on his 23-year Christian Evangelistic Ministry through basketball camps for youth and international work in Malawi, Africa, with the Nkhoma Hospital.”

“In addition to delivering the sermon at the two morning services, Burleson will be available to answer questions and share experiences in the church Fellowship Hall between services.The community is warmly welcomed to attend.”

No matter what your personal religious convictions are, you have to admire the ministry that Burleson has been doing in Africa over the past 23 years, and I’m sure he would appreciate your support this Sunday.

Here is the address and contact information of the church.
