State Rep. Burnam to be guest speaker at COH Peace Sunday service
State Rep. Lon Burnam of Fort Worth will be the guest speaker at the Cathedral of Hope’s Peace Sunday services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services on Sunday, July 6.
Burnam has represented Fort Worth’s inner city District 90 since January 1997, serving on a number of different committees, most focusing on consumer issues involving insurance, housing, transportation and the environment.
He is also director of the Dallas Peace Center, and prior to his election to the Texas House, he was a city planner working to coordinate different organizations to revitalize city neighborhoods.
Burnam and his wife Carol Roark have lived in the South Central Fort Worth neighborhood of Fairmount since 1978.
Cathedral of Hope has for the past several years designated the Sunday closest to July 4 as a day to call the LGBT community to be “patriots of peace,” and this Sunday’s services will focus on that theme.
The church is located at 5910 Cedar Springs, and services are free and open to all.
