Change was the subject of Youth Pastor Earl Henning’s first Sunday sermon in Cypress Point Community Church (CPCC)’s new youth center.
“We have changed buildings, stages, microphones and there’s an element of uncertainty,” Henning told the young congregation. As the church’s youth ministry gets used to its new home, known as “The Dwelling Place,” he reminded the Sunday service gathering at the center of what remains constant: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.”
Cypress Point’s lead Pastor Dean Reule says that the 10,000-sq.-ftDwelling Place cost $1 million to build and sits beside the church’s main building, which can be accessed from Morris Bridge Rd., just north of Cross Creek Blvd.
There’s plenty at the youth center to interest young people in grades 7 to 12, such as room for basketball and volleyball, free-standing video games, snack bar, pool table, lounge area with cell phone-charging stations, rooms to meet in and special activities.
Reule notes that the new facility is the largest youth center in New Tampa, Wesley Chapel or Zephyrhills. He says the goal of The Dwelling Place is to provide a resource for young people.
“Many teens in the area are looking for something to do,” Reule says. “This generation has more discretionary time than any other generation and we want to stand in the gap and share our message with the teens of today and future generations.”
The nondenominational center will mainly be open for scheduled church activities at first, but there are plans to expand operating hours and community access in the next few months, possibly adding after-school hours a couple of days a week.
“We’re hoping we can open it up after school as a safe place to play basketball or do homework,” Henning says.
According to Reule, the new facility opens up new possibilities to serve the interests of its youngest members and neighbors.
“It’s a little bit of a blank canvas now,“ he says. “There are lots of ways for the church to engage the youth and be a positive impact on lives.”
The Dwelling Place is part of the student ministry at CPCC, which offers a variety of ongoing activities, such as movie nights, retreats, missions in the local community and beyond, as well as Sunday services promoted as, “Worth waking up for!”
One teenage church member who wakes up for Sunday services is Riley Denham, who anticipates good times in The Dwelling Place.
“It’s a fun place,” he says. “It has basketball and video games before services, and there’s a hang-out space where you can meet your friends.”
Riley’s father, Justin Denham, finds the facility uplifting.
“It’s a fun, friendly place where you can play some games and learn about Christ,” Justin says.
The new building is a visible indication of how much CPCC has grown since it consisted of a few families meeting in homes and rented spaces.
The center is the second phase of a three-part plan Reule and the church put together about five years ago.
The first phase successfully retired a $1 million debt on the main building. The third phase of the church’s plan is to remodel the main building to accommodate a counseling center.
The Dwelling Place of Cypress Point Community Church is located at 15820 Morris Bridge Rd. Learn more about it via social media at “The Dwelling Place at Cypress Point” on Facebook and on Twitter @dpnation1. The Dwelling Place website is DwellingPlaceYouth.com. Wednesday night services are held at 7 p.m. and Sunday services are at 9:30 a.m. & 11 a.m.
This pool was created by Olympus Pools, which will custom-design your pool, spa and deck, too.
Backyard pools in Florida are pretty common, but Olympus Pools has helped hundreds of New Tampa and Wesley Chapel homeowners make a uniquely personal statement with theirs.
“We take pride in giving people the most bang for their buck,” says James Staten, who owns Olympus Pools with his wife, Alexis.
The options available to homeowners who want to build a pool are extensive with Olympus, ranging from traditional models that tend to be linear in shape, to blends of rustic and contemporary styles that combine the basic elements of fire, stone and water into a backyard oasis.
Designs can accommodate features such as a dry, sunken living room, swim-up bar and a cozy grotto illuminated with LED lighting and fire bowls. Water and lighting features can be managed from anywhere there’s a phone signal, via a smartphone app.
While the pool design will be one of a kind, Staten says the level of customer service alsois uniformly high.
“We build them the same way for our customers that we build them for ourselves,” he says.
Olympus Pools is licensed for commercial as well as residential pool construction, but Staten says creating the perfect backyard water wonderland for each customer’s needs is the heart of the business. In fact, he added, his company built 240 pools last year and he attributes this success to focusing on three key elements: design, construction and service.
“We try to make sure we’re the best in each of these three,” he says.
The Design Of Your Dreams
Making a splash (pun intended) with a great backyard pool starts with design and Staten says meeting each customer’s individual needs, interests and construction requirements are always considered in that process.
“Every design we do is custom,” he says.“ “Every single one. We don’t have any templates or cookie-cutter designs.”
Olympus Pools designer Santiago Serna develops a computerized design of a pool for a customer.
Staten says the goal is creating a pool that’s well-designed, meets your budget considerations and suits your lifestyle.
Olympus is staffed with pool designers like Toni Masse, who combines a background in construction with interior design experience in her swimming pool creations. She says creating a sunken living room for a pool has similarities to designing one inside a house.
“I enjoy the process of meeting new people and designing their pools,” she says, adding that paying attention to whatcustomers want as important in meeting their expectations. “Part of being a designer is listening to the customers.”
Olympus designers can take your ideas and turn them into construction projects that Staten says will usually take six-to-eight weeks.
“We’re known for building pools very quickly,” he says.
Whether you want to add a spa to an existing pool or get a complete backyard makeover, Olympus pool designers stay connected with you throughout the process.
“I continue with you throughout the construction, because I’m committed to the customer from beginning to the end,” says Santiago Serna, who has 28 years of experience designing pools. Serna adds that he gets a great sense of satisfaction when he visits for a follow-up check of the construction and sees families having a barbecue around their pool.
Building a backyard pool means plunging into the deep end of home construction permitting that ensures the work conforms to legal standards. Staten says Olympus Pools manages that process, which is one way the company provides a high level of service to its customers.
“We handle all of the permits and engineering so the customer can sit back,” he says. “We do all the hard work.”
Customers can keep track of the progress on their project with construction updates they can receive as text messages.
“It keeps the customers involved and helps keep us on schedule,” says Staten.
Satisfied Customers
Receiving text updates is a feature that Dan Carroll says he appreciates about his customer experience with Olympus Pools.
“They tell you what’s going on,” says Carroll. “The quality,, I think, is outstanding. I got exactly what I wanted.”
Another thing that Staten emphasizes in his company’s pools is safety, from using unblockable channel drains to the screens and fences enclosing them.
“I have five children myself,” says the Live Oak Preserve resident. “So, it’s extremely important to me that you have the safest possible pool.”
Once your pool is completed, Staten says it will add value and “salability” to your home, although the big payoff to pool ownership isn’t necessarily financial. “You automatically have plans for every weekend,’’ he says. “My favorite memories are hanging out in a backyard pool with family and friends.”
Staten started his company after working in the pool construction industry for more than a decade.
“I’ve worked every job in the field,” says Staten, who manages the operation from the company offices located just off Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., near Tampa International Airport (west of Dale Mabry Hwy.)
Staten attributes a lot of the growth of Olympus Pools to referrals from customers. He also uses social media to generate interest from customers and people in the pool construction industry.
He also says his company’s page on Facebook (search: OlympusPools ) is a primary source for the most up-to-date information, photos and videos about pool design, construction trends and other information.
In addition to the Facebook page, you can visit OlympusPoolsFL.com, call 983-7854 or see the ad on page 28.The Olympus Pools office & design center is located at 4422 N. Lauber Way in Tampa.
When Mary Catchur opened her Tampa Palms-based Marimark Mortgage business in 2006, the housing market in the Tampa Bay area was at a high point in terms of prices and sales. The ensuing decline in prices and sales that imploded the industry in 2008-10 resulted in new regulations requiring more scrutiny by lenders and disclosure to borrowers.
While some mortgage professionals may chafe at the increased oversight and additional rules, Catchur says embracing their intent — ensuring that homebuyers make informed decisions — provides a way to stand out among mortgage brokers.
“We all have the same products and very similar rates,” Catchur says. “What differentiates me and my business from other people in the industry is our level of service and our commitment to educating the homebuyer.”
Even with all of the new regulations intended to improve the level of service extended for homebuyers, Catchur encounters many who say they haven’t benefitted.
“I get people calling me all the time that have talked to three or four other lenders, and even at that point, they don’t have a clue whether they’ve been qualified for an FHA mortgage, whether it has mortgage insurance on it, or the fees associated with the rates,” she says. “That’s a real issue in the industry right now and that’s why we keep getting more and more compliance (rules) and guidelines. But, to me, all of those things that people fill out do nothing to take the place of what is really required, which is explaining to the borrower exactly what they’re doing, what product they’re applying for and what their alternatives are to that product.”
One way that Catchur responds to this problem is with digital media. She creates online videos, writes a blog and publishes a newsletter she circulates online to inform consumers about the mortgage marketplace, from the rules governing it to trends within the industry nationwide and in the Tampa Bay area. Her social media footprint covers everything from Facebook to Pinterest and it can all be accessed from her website, Marimark.com.
Topics that Catchur covers include so-called piggyback mortgages (using two loans to buy a home), the different factors influencing a loan interest rate and various types of mortgages and tax breaks associated with real estate transactions.
The internet also allows Catchur to conduct business with customers, both local and from around the world, who are looking to move to Florida or the other states in which she is licensed to do business, such as Virginia and her home state of Pennsylvania. She moved to Tampa from the Keystone State in 1979 to attend the University of South Florida (USF). She earned both a Bachelor of Arts degree in French and a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from USF.
Catchur says her office in the Tampa Palms Professional Center, off Commerce Park Blvd. (just north and west of the intersection of Bruce B. Downs {BBD} Blvd. and Tampa Palms Blvd.), puts her at the center of many long-distance inquiries.
“I get a lot of people relocating here who find me online,” she says.
Catchur adds that she works hard from the beginning of a client relationship so that in the end, everyone leaves the closing table happy. Just as she keeps her customers fully informed about their options, she expects the same level of disclosure in return.
“From day one, I take a very thorough application to determine what their exact needs are and what unusual circumstances they might have, such as an unusual employment situation or way of being paid,” says Catchur, who lives in New Tampa.
Getting The Financial Picture
She cites her 20-year background as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) as providing the analytical tools needed to derive meaningful information from financial documents provided by her customers, many of whom collect their earnings in ways other than a weekly paycheck, such as entrepreneurs, freelance professionals and executives with compensation packages.
In an economy where many people are working as an independent contractor rather than as an employee, it is not an unusual situation. And, when you add in the regulatory oversight regarding things like financial gifts, the reporting task becomes even more complex, making financial knowledge and experience even more useful to successfully close a deal.
“You have to understand the whole picture before you decide which product to apply for,” says Catchur.
One case where Catchur’s expertise made it possible for a homebuyer to acquire a loan is that of Donnie Welsch, a subcontracted salesperson for a manufactured home company. He was looking forward to moving into a home in Wesley Chapel’s Lexington Oaks community with his wife and 18-month-old son, when the financing through a national bank fell through. He credits Catchur’s expertise for being able to get financing when the situation looked grim.
“Mary understood the guidelines and she was successful in getting it done through Freddie Mac (aka the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp., a federal government-sponsored enterprise which purchases loans from vendors to replenish their supply of funds so that they can make more mortgage loans to other borrowers) because she understood the situation and how to present my file to the underwriters,” says Welsch. “Now, me and my family have the house that we were desiring. If someone is looking to get a loan closed I would definitely recommend her.”
According to Catchur, that closing will likely happen sooner rather than later.
“We close most our loans in 30 days or less,” she says.
During the time the loan is being processed, customers and other interested parties are kept informed with automated responses that are generated as the steps of the transaction are initiated and completed, such as when a home appraisal has been ordered.
“We keep everybody informed every step of the way,” Catchur says.
Catchur offers a complete line of financing options, such as conventional loans, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, loans through the Veterans Administration (VA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), as well as “Jumbo” loans (a home loan of more than $424,100 for one unit). One new financial product Catchur says she is able to offer is a one-percent-down loan.
An emerging trend in the mortgage market is that many people who have a financial blemish such as a previous bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale are interested in buying a home. Catchur says she’s willing to take a look at their situation.
“A lot of the waiting periods with those things are at a point where people can do things like buy a home,” she says.
Catchur, who is the treasurer for the Florida Association of Mortgage Professionals, says one reason she is successful is that she gets a lot of referrals and repeat customers. She credits that to applying something she learned while working in her father’s electrical company in Scranton, PA, to her own business.
“You treat people right and you educate them so they know what they’re doing,” she says.

Pediatric dentists Dr. Paul Duga, DDS (left), and Dr. Shawna Adams-Feeney, DMD, have been brightening smiles in New Tampa for nearly two decades, and their caring, professional staff and child-friendly office are as well known as any in this area.
Your child’s wide and toothy smile may easily brighten a room, but ensuring that his or her teeth are healthy requires good dental hygiene at home and the kind of care that professionals like those at Dr. Duga, Dr. Feeney & Associates Pediatric Dentistry has been providing in our area for 19 years.
The colorfully decorated office in the Somerset Professional Park in Tampa Palms (located off Bruce B. Downs [BBD] Blvd. and Amberly Dr.) has more video game consoles than X-ray machines and the approach to dentistry is child-friendly as well, for a practical reason.
“Doctor Feeney and I feel it is most important to provide one-on-one personalized care,” says Paul Duga, DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery). “Kids are not little adults. They need that familiarity, so it’s not a clinic where they see a different dentist every time.”
Shawna Adams-Feeney, DMD (Doctor of Medical Dentistry) says that part of the attraction of pediatric dentistry for her is the chance to make a difference in a young person’s life.
“I like working with kids because we have the ability to help them establish good habits early,” she says.
Although Dr. Duga and Dr. Adams-Feeney (who are both Board-certified pediatric dentists) share the goal of providing a welcoming dental home for New Tampa’s children, they say they reached it in different ways.
After earning his DDS degree from the Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, Dr. Duga says he worked as a general dentist in Milwaukee for a few years before becoming interested in pediatric dentistry.
He followed up by earning his Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry in New Orleans, an experience that, he says, validated his belief that children’s dental needs are best served by specialists.
“Every day, something came up that improved my knowledge base and skills to care for kids,” Dr. Duga says. He adds that there’s a good reason to choose a pediatric dentist over a general dentist to meet the oral health needs of your children.
“With kids, things are dynamic, always changing,” he says.
For Dr. Adams-Feeney, pediatric dentistry was always her professional goal and she earned her Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford, after receiving her DMD degree from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston.
“I like working with kids,” Dr. Adams-Feeney says. “We have the ability to help them form good habits early and create good patients from the start.”
Getting Started Early
When it comes to pediatric dental health, Dr. Duga says that starting early means seeing a dentist by the time a child is between 12 to 18 months old, both to establish a clinical relationship and monitor oral development. Those early visits also are opportunities for parents to get information about caring for their child’s gums and teeth. Dr. Adams-Feeney stresses the importance of baby teeth in overall dental health.
“If you lose a baby tooth early, teeth can shift and that can cause problems when permanent teeth erupt, which can cause problems with bites,” she says, adding that dental health also can play a role in a child’s school performance.
“Dental issues are the number one reason children miss school,” she says.
Services available at the practice include examinations, cleanings, sealant placement, tooth repair such as fillings and crowns, as well as cosmetic whitening and orthodontic alignment.
Digital X-ray technology is used, which produces images with less radiation, and sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide is available if a young patient is particularly nervous about having a dental procedure.
Perhaps one of the best means of easing anxiety in young patients, however, is the overall ambiance of the dental practice. The walls at the office of Drs. Duga and Adams-Feeney are decorated with an aquatic-theme mural, video games and kid-friendly reading material, while overhead video monitors allow patients to enjoy some of their favorite shows while being treated.
There’s also an understanding that a pediatric appointment may require a little more flexibility on the part of the staff, says Dr. Adams-Feeney.
“We work on kid time,” she says. “Sometimes we really have to work with them to make it a positive experience.”
That flexibility means being available for families when dental emergencies come up outside of normal office hours.
“One of us is always on call, so if something happens on a weekend, we can still be reached,” Dr. Adams-Feeney says.
Another example of the practice’s commitment to its patients is that the two doctors continue seeing their patients through their college years, ensuring continuity of dental health at a time of great personal change.
“Otherwise, sometimes if they go away to college, they won’t see a dentist during those four years,” says Duga. “During winter break, we get a lot of our college kids coming back.”
A History Of Care & Caring
Dr. Duga established the practice in 1998 and he has been an active resource in the New Tampa community by participating in events such as the Hunter’s Green Health & Safety Expos, supporting local schools and sports teams and working with Christina’s Smiles, a national nonprofit organization that provides dental care to children whose families have trouble affording it.
With February marking National Children’s Dental Health Month, Dr. Duga says the practice’s dentists and staff will be out and about in New Tampa schools spreading the word about oral health and dispensing bags filled with dental treats such as toothbrushes.
“We want to be part of the community because (New Tampa is) like a small town in a big area,” says Dr. Duga, a longtime Tampa Palms resident.
The practice’s business coordinator Renee Mari says that meeting the dental needs of their young patients is the mission of the staff at the office, but accommodating the expectations of their parents also is an essential element of its success. Mari ensures that things go well on the administrative side of the relationship.
“We’ll work hard with you to determine how your insurance benefits work in our office,” says Mari, who also emphasizes the importance of first impressions. “We extend a friendly, caring approach to every patient that comes in the front door.”
Sometimes, the patients come in as a group, such as when Lori Simon brings her six children, whose ages range from three to 17, in for checkups, cleanings and treatments.
“I love the staff,” Simon says. “I actually moved from New Tampa to Dade City but we still go there because they’ve always been very responsive and willing to work with the kids.”
New Tampa resident Rebecca Berton says her two children, ages five and seven, also have found a welcoming dental home with Drs. Duga and Adams-Feeney.
“Even when they’re little (the doctors) tell them what they’re doing, and they’re always very friendly,” Berton says, adding that she has received a lot of knowledge and support from the staff regarding the daily dental care needs of her children.
“They’ve been coaching me how to take care of their teeth and what kind of toothpaste is best for different stages of their lives,” Berton says. “They also come in and support what we’re trying to instill in them — to have good habits for healthy teeth —so it’s not just mom saying sugar’s not good for them.”
“Dr. Feeney and I really want the parents involved,” Dr. Duga says. “It’s not a situation where a parent can’t come back and ask questions.”
He adds that the goal is to achieve a positive outcome for the practice’s young patients by the time they’re ready to go out on their own.
“We practice conservative dentistry and try to establish lifelong healthy habits so our patients can become adults with virtually no dental concerns,” he says.
Dr. Duga, Dr. Feeney & Associates Pediatric Dentistry is located at 15293 Amberly Dr. You can learn more about their services by visiting DrDugaDrFeeney.com or by calling 631-1100.
Jay Nelson, DMD (center), and his amazing staff at Nelson Dentistry on S.R. 54 in Lutz.
There are a lot of good dentists out there, but few combine the ability to maintain your oral health and improve your ability to sleep without snoring like Dr. Jay Nelson, D.M.D (Doctor of Dental Medicine) and his Nelson Dentistry & Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Nelson’s practice, located in the Highland Oaks Medical Center off S.R. 54 (west of Livingston Rd.) provides an extensive list of services that has grown over his 35-year career, as dental research and technology have created more patient options and his expertise to deliver them has grown.
Building on what he learned while earning his D.M.D. (Doctor of Medical Dentistry) degree at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia, Dr. Nelson earned advanced certifications from professional organizations such as the Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD), Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics (ACE) and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM). Dr. Nelson says his practice is the only AADSM-accredited facility in Florida.
Nelson Dentistry is a full-service dental practice, offering procedures that can help you have attractive, healthy teeth that are capable of chewing and grinding food. General dental services include teeth cleanings, fillings, root canals, periodontal therapy, dentures, veneers, whitening and even full-mouth reconstruction.
Dental Sleep Medicine
Dr. Nelson says that just because someone spends eight hours a night in sleep mode, it doesn’t guarantee their body is getting the rest it needs to be recharged for the waking hours to follow. Dental sleep medicine is a practice area that addresses some of the health issues affecting sleep quality, such as obstructive sleep apnea (a condition whereby sleep-time breathing is interrupted, depriving the body of a steady flow of oxygen), and it’s one way Dr. Nelson says he can deliver a higher level of patient benefit.
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, the official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, “moderate-to-severe sleep apnea is independently associated with a large increased risk of all-cause mortality, incident stroke, and cancer incidence and mortality.”
“In general dentistry, we’re saving teeth and helping people get healthier,” Dr. Nelson says. “With dental sleep medicine, we’re saving lives.”
Dental sleep medicine uses FDA-approved oral appliance technology and dental expertise to relieve sleep-disturbing problems like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Nelson says the severity is wide-ranging in terms of how often a sleeper’s breathing pauses.
“People with sleep apnea stop breathing in their sleep from five to one hundred times an hour,” he says.
Which would you rather wear to help with your snoring — the traditional CPAP or the oral appliance pictured above?
According to Dr. Nelson, obstructive sleep apnea can contribute to developing high blood pressure and heart disease and can increase your risk of having a stroke. He also says that besides the risk of chronic disease, people who don’t get enough quality sleep are less alert and increase their risk of injury from car or work-related accidents.
Snoring is sometimes a symptom of or a precursor to obstructive sleep apnea and can disturb the sleep of others. Dr. Nelson says dental sleep medicine offers a way to help bring relief not only to the person snoring, but also those who are sleeping within hearing distance of the noise.
“Someone snoring doesn’t just affect them, it affects their bed partner,” Dr. Nelson says. “We’re saving marriages, allowing couples to sleep in the same bed.”
Obstructive sleep apnea is a medical condition that requires a physician’s diagnosis. Patients become candidates for treatment by American Board of Sleep Medicine-certified Sleep Medicine specialists after undergoing an evaluation at a sleep testing center. “There are two ways a patient might enter our (dental sleep medicine) practice,” says Dr. Nelson. “One is referral by a physician, or we sometimes have patients (with other issues) and refer them for a sleep study, where a sleep medicine physician would evaluate them.”
The standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea has been to pump a continuous stream of air into a patient’s nose or mouth while sleeping. This method — using a Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) system — is effective but many people find the CPAPs ugly and uncomfortable to use, Dr. Nelson says, resulting a high failure rate usually due to patient non-compliance.
Instead of the unwieldy, scary-looking CPAP machine, today’s dental sleep medicine uses an FDA approved oral appliance that is adjusted to position the tongue and jaw to allow greater airflow to the lungs while sleeping. Treatment effectiveness is evaluated and adjustments are made, if necessary.
“Many people find the oral appliances more comfortable than the CPAP,” Dr. Nelson says. “People with mild to moderate sleep apnea often prefer an oral appliance to using a CPAP.”
Dental sleep medicine professionals have only been using oral appliances to treat obstructive sleep apnea for about 10 years and Dr. Nelson has been doing so for seven years. It is another dimension to his practice, which has served the New Tampa and Wesley Chapel communities from his Lutz office since 1987.
“It’s just something different, to help people in a different way than I usually do,” says Dr. Nelson, who is a New Tampa resident.
Whether he is easing the pain and discomfort of a patient with a dental cavity, or helping someone get more restful sleep, Dr. Nelson abides by the same guiding principle: “We treat everyone as an individual, with respect, and do the best we can.”
Some Glowing Reviews
A survey of online Google reviews suggests Dr. Nelson’s dental practice has a lot of satisfied patients, with 38 reviews unanimously giving the office 5 out of 5 stars.
“Dr. Nelson and his staff are great,” wrote patient Traci Jurek. “I have been going there for over 10 years and really appreciate the professional and personal way they treat you.”
Joyce Miguel echoes those sentiments: “Dr Nelson and his entire team know how to create a positive experience for their patients,” Miguel writes. “ Their caring and compassion are evident in all they do.”
And, sleep apnea treatment reviewer Rosemarie Rohatgi writes, “Dr. Jay Nelson is a genius at helping people solve their sleep problems. Not only that, he is absolutely tenacious in making sure you get what you need. I highly recommend him.”
Nelson Dentistry also received 5 out of 5 stars from 148 reviewers at HealthGrades.com, which scores medical practitioners on items ranging from level of trust to waiting times.
Dr. Jay Nelson’s Nelson Dentistry & Dental Sleep Medicine is located at 1928 Highland Oaks Blvd. in Lutz. For additional information, visit DrJayNelson.com or SleepBetterFlorida.com, or call 333-9265.
Change was the subject of Youth Pastor Earl Henning’s first Sunday sermon in Cypress Point Community Church (CPCC)’s new youth center.
The nondenominational center will mainly be open for scheduled church activities at first, but there are plans to expand operating hours and community access in the next few months, possibly adding after-school hours a couple of days a week.
“It’s a fun, friendly place where you can play some games and learn about Christ,” Justin says.
