The local event is sponsored by the South Metro Minister's Association and will last from 9 a.m. until 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.
