On Sunday, March 16, 2008,
Landmark
Baptist Church and Christian School held a ground breaking ceremony
for a new gymnasium in honor of the late Rich Lemon. Brother Rich Lemon was a
graduate of Landmark Christian School and Landmark Baptist College. He served on the Landmark Baptist Church staff and was the youth leader
when he went to be with the Lord in 2004.
Construction on the new gymnasium
is scheduled to begin in the next few days. Landmark’s current gymnasium,
built in 1975, will be used in the future as a practice gym.
Rich’s widow, April
Lemon, and his two children, Justus (6) and Lydia
(4) along with his mother, Diane Cothern, participated in the groundbreaking. Pastor
Carter officiated the memorial ceremony assisted by the Landmark
Baptist Church deacons and the
Christian school administration. Mr. Kelly Callihan and his wife Hope were present
representing the City of Haines City.
Anyone interested in making
a donation toward the construction of the new gymnasium may contact the Landmark
Christian School office at (863)
