WHITE HOUSE — Two aldermen here say league and tournament games should be banned in the municipal park on Sunday mornings for religious reasons.

Alderman Darrell Leftwich wants organized games in White House Municipal Park to be restricted to the 1-4:30 p.m. period on Sundays.

"I am concerned that we are not sending the right message to the community by having tournaments and league play during worship hours," Leftwich said.

Leftwich said that he drove by the park last Sunday morning on his way to church and saw that it was full of people attending a soccer tournament.

He attends services at Temple Baptist Church in White House.

Leftwich said that while the tournament is good for White House, it could have been held on a more suitable day.

"God our Father intended the seventh day to be one of rest and worship," Leftwich said during a recent city board meeting.

"At my church, several people brought up the tournament. In their opinion and mine, I feel like we should establish new hours for our parks."

During the meeting, Leftwich asked City Administrator Angie Carrier to draft the ordinance restricting league and tournament play.

Alderman Mike Arnold agreed with Leftwich and added that the park was in his ward of the city. He said he had received several calls from people in response to the tournament being held on a Sunday.

Alderman Farris Bibb Jr. said the city should look into the matter further.

"With all due respect to Alderman Leftwich, the seventh day of the week is Saturday," Bibb said.
