We invite you to join us for the 4th Annual March for Jesus!
Join us as we march from Hubbard Park to the Meriden Green singing praises to God and praying with people along the way, all the while reminding our city that Jesus is Lord! When we arrive at the Meriden Green, we come together for worship, pray for those who need prayer, and pray for our city, state, and nation.
We are marching because Jesus is worthy of praise.
We worship Him publicly for the same reason we worship Him privately – it is because He is worth it! Only Jesus could be worthy of such an offering of praise.
We are marching because we are one.
We are all part of one family of faith. In each city there are many congregations but one church. March for Jesus is an invitation for all believers in our city to come together and affirm that Jesus is Lord. We establish that we are united under One King and His name is Jesus Christ. We acknowledge our love for Him and for one another.
We are marching to get the good news out beyond the church walls.
The church is people - not buildings. Jesus spent His ministry out among the people, in the public places and that is where March for Jesus takes us with the joy hope and good news of Jesus. It keeps us focused outward and reminds us to live out our faith by reaching out to others to demonstrate the love of Jesus. Taking the walls off the church makes us visible, accessible and reminds everyone of God’s great love for all people.
We are marching because we believe that prayer changes things.
Our cities face problems and difficulties. The solutions are not easy but prayer is a central key. The March for Jesus is a prayer event. It is done before God as an earnest plea for His intervention into the affairs of our cities and nation.
