Fayette County residents will

join marchers throughout the nation this Saturday, May 12, when the fourth

annual "March for Jesus" parade and rally take place in downtown

Fayetteville.

The local event is sponsored

noon. The march will be in conjunction with similar marches throughout

America.

Last year's march drew approximately

1,500 participants.

Church groups and individuals

are encouraged to bring their cars, vans, buses, floats and trucks and

assemble at 9 a.m. in the parking lot of Fayette County High School to

decorate and line up vehicles and marchers for the parade.

Promptly at 10 a.m., the entourage

will proceed up Tiger Trail to Hood Avenue, down Hood Avenue to Ga. Highway

85, and south on Hwy. 85 to the fountain in the center of Heritage Park,

next to the County Administrative Complex.

A March for Jesus Rally at

the fountain will involve special praise music, prayer and a short message.

"All residents in the

area are encouraged to participate in any way they deem appropriate for

the occasion, whether riding or marching," said this year's project

coordinator, the Rev. Knox Herndon of His House Community Church in Senoia.

For information, call Herndon

at 770-719-2365.
