To demonstrate the call to celebrate, the Marches for Jesus have continued into the summer in neighborhoods all across North America. With balloons, candy, a picnic in the park, a kind of block party, the celebrations include feeding the hungry, visiting the elderly, and serving people just to demonstrate what God's love is like. A sound truck and a food truck lead the march. Suburban Christians come to spend their Saturday in urban ministry with this inner city church. As they pass by kids come running out of the apartment buildings.
Marchers pass out hugs and pieces of candy and carry the children on their shoulders.
The tenants come out on porches to watch and wave. They have come to expect these marches in the neighborhood. The March ends in the park in the middle of the complex. A worship band is playing lively music. The most of grills fills the air.
