On Saturday, May 17, community members will gather for the 27th Annual March for Jesus. The March will begin at 9 a.m. at the Fayette Train Depot Museum in downtown Fayette and will conclude with a prayer rally at Fayette First Baptist Church. This year’s theme, inspired by Titus 2:13 — “Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ”— sets the tone for a powerful day of praise and fellowship. For early marchers, biscuits will be served at 8:15 a.m., and balloons will be handed out at 8:30 a.m. before the event begins.
