March for Jesus event planned for August

HIAWASSEE, Ga. – March for Jesus, a 2.7 mile spirited trek from the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds to Cedar Cliff Road, is planned for Aug. 25. The event is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. at Anderson Music Hall, with music and fellowship following the 10 a.m. march.

Organizer Terry Rathmann says that the event was created to impact families, churches, and communities, as well as states and the nation itself, in a positive, sustainable way with God’s help.

“Parents need to be the role model for their children as they journey to be more Christ like,” Rathmann explains,  “Physical growth of human beings is very obvious. We start out as infants and we physically grow until we can walk, and talk. Believers in Christ Jesus should grow Spiritually as well. This Spiritual growth powered by the Holy Spirit should also be very obvious to your family members as well as to those who belong to your sphere of influence. Many of us have asked God, what are you doing about the current events of this world? God may respond by saying, I created you. So it all begins with the family unit.

“A spiritually unified family should attend their local church and connect with other brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. We are commanded to share our love with one another and we can do this by encouraging one another through the good times as well as the bad times,” Rathmann continued, “God did not create us to isolated from one another, God created us to be engage with one another out of love and gratitude. A unified Body of Christ will impact the local community, and then the unified Body of Christ will impact the regional communities. The positive impact will be obvious and contagious. The unified Body of Christ will be the light that shines brightly even in the darkest of times. God has made promises to us and God has made a Covenant with His creation. If we follow His commands, we will see His blessings fall upon us.”
