The sporting world’s best-known Christian will deliver a 20-minute sermon at a Texas church this weekend to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Joe Champion of the Celebration Church in Georgetown, Texas, said he had no idea why the Jets’ newest addition picked their “Easter on the Hill” worship service for his appearance.
But he made it clear that Tebow’s role this Sunday is similar to his gig with Gang Green: He’s not the first-stringer.
“It’s not a Tim Tebow show,” Champion told KVUE-TV. “It’s not about celebrity. There’s really only one celebrity that we are going to honor and highlight.”
A crowd of about 30,000 — well less than the usual turnout for a Tebow Sunday appearance — was expected at the Celebration Church in Georgetown, Texas, according to Yahoo! Sports.
“Obviously it’s our Super Bowl,” Champion told KVUE-TV. “Easter is the resurrection of Christ, which we celebrate in our faith. We feel like it’s going to be a testimony to the community. We want it to be a family event.”
Yep, nothing says respectful religious service like having a self aggrandizing attention whore come to your church and distract people from the central message represented by this most holy of days.
What, was Sarah Palin already busy?
