Resurrection's CAFE ABLAZE Warms March 4 with Singers, Emily & Tommy-Lee Sexton, and Tim Roth

CAFE ABLAZE, the Christian coffeehouse hosted by Garden City’s Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, serves its trademark blend of hot beverages and Christian music, along with warm fellowship, on Saturday, March 4, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

Onstage will be contemporary Christian music artist, Tommy-Lee Sexton, accompanied by his talented wife, Emily Sexton. This duo has performed together in musicals, church services, and coffeehouses in New York, North Carolina, and Georgia. Tommy-Lee, whose parents founded Café Ablaze, is pursuing a Master of Divinity degree and serves as Director of Student Ministries at First Presbyterian Church in Douglasville, Georgia. He has also been featured on Telecare’s Good News Program. The music he performs, much of which is original, covers a mix of genres and topics of faith.

Opening for the Sextons will be Tim Roth, who sings in Resurrection’s Worship Band and Adult Choir, has studied music, and has starred in Biblical theatrical productions on Long Island. He will treat the audience to some well-known Christian standards as well as introduce his own original music.

Why not let “the café” warm your body and soul this special evening? CAFE ABLAZE, where the hungry do leave satisfied in more ways than one, welcomes singles, couples, families with children (12 and under free), and groups of friends.
