Should this be in the sports section?
Tim Tebow will deliver the Easter sermon on Sunday at the Celebration Church in Georgetown, Texas, and the expected turnout is one more indication of Tebows enormous popularity.
The church told local TV station KVUE that its erecting bleachers on its 60-acre outdoor space for what it expects to be a crowd of as many as 30,000 people.
Obviously its our Super Bowl, said Joe Champion, pastor at the Celebration Church. Easter is the resurrection of Christ, which we celebrate in our faith. We feel like its going to be a testimony to the community. We want it to be a family event.
Tebow recently got a mani-pedi (first time Ive ever typed that phrase) to get himself ready for the festivities, but Pastor Champion wants to make clear that its not all about glorifying Tebow.
There will be the sacredness of Easter, Champion said. Its not a Tim Tebow show. Its not about a celebrity. Theres really only one celebrity that we are going to honor and highlight.
I dont think hes referring to Mark Sanchez.
