"This is an event that we feel the community needs. We need to celebrate the Lord
and at the same time we need to take back our youth.” Said Pastor Ronald Bridgette,
Pastor of Belmont Baptist. “Yes it is a celebration, but it is to take in serious

communities need to deal with and these activities will bring us together and serve
as inspiration for all to make a difference in their own lives and communities.”

everywhere. “I am glad to be apart of this youth celebration. It is critical for our
youth to take active roles in their communities to be aware of their actions.” Other
groups of a spiritual or religious nature will also be performing at the event.

Everyone from all over Los Angeles will be able to participate in this spectacular
outdoor event. “We have brought together a wide variety of activities, and although
the activities are free there will be plenty of things to buy” said DR. Bridgette
with a smile “Did I mention free? It’s going to be a good time.” Sis. LittleJohn,
event organizer, said "Bringing our community together through this type of
celebration for our young people is what Belmont is all about.” This Backyard
Extravaganza will be held in the church perimeter and its surrounding parking lots.
