Christians share their joy By Yvonne Reynolds EXETER - A unique, fust-ti event - a March For Jesus - tak�t place in Exeter this Saturday. Christians from all denominations will be marching along Main Street to proclaim the one belief that unites them - Jesus: Saviour of the World. The march's purpose is to bring the joy of the Christian life out from the . church walls, the home bible studies, the coffee hours, and fellowship times, and into the streets to be shared publicly as a demonstration of the truth of Jesus' promise of love, joy, peace and abundant life to those who follow Him, Included in the march will be banners and streamers, choreo- graphed praise movements (devo- tion in droll . 1 .

Moses led the first official march out of Egypt. Joshua headed a march around the walls of Jeri- cho. The forerunners of Winds now decorating church walls were once carried in public processions. We commemorate Jesus' trium- phant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The first major march in recent times originated in Britain. Plan- ners hoped for 5,000 people to • march through the financial heart of London in May 1987; 15,000 turned out in pouring rain. The next year, 60,000 participated. By 1989, marches were held across England. The movement grew. In 1991 marches took place in I 1 countries, including Canada. Over 2,000,000 people from 47 nations participated in the 1993 March for Jesus; 124,000 Canadians joined in. e fel o , • y sew i,es , n 3i SOUthein • tario March Jesus, pan of the 1994 Canadian Christian Festival P1 featuring keynote speaker George Carey, Archbishop of Can- terbury, brought thousands to the streets of Hamilton on June 25.
