There will be a one mile Super March For Jesus on January 29, 2005. This is the first March For Jesus since 1999. That march drew around 30,000 marchers, making it the largest one in the nation. This year, the body of Christ from the First Coast and from all denominations, will make up a conservative estimate of around 20,000 believers.
The night before the March, on January 28th,a walk through and prayer rally is scheduled. Walkers should gather at Alltel Stadium between 5:30 PM and 6 PM to walk along the route and around Alltel Stadium, praying for the city, the success of the march and the Super Bowl events. A Prayer/Worship Gathering is scheduled for Jan. 21st, at 7:30 PM, location to be announced, call the office or check back on this site.
On the day of the event, marchers will gather behind the downtown courthouse on the river (Coastline Drive). Approximately 50 vans arrive at 9:30 AM, as marchers assemble by 10:15 AM behind the vans. March will begin at 11:00 AM, starting along Bay Street, on route to outside Alltel Stadium. Bring a dollar for the program. A love offering will be taken.
