A REQUEST TO ROUND ROCK CITY COUNCIL
FOR A PARADE PERMIT FOR MARCH FOR JESUS
Dear City Council Members,
We respectfully submit the following request to the Round
Rock City Council for a parade permit on Saturday, June 25th, 1994
from 10 - 11 a.m. to conduct a March For Jesus in our city on North
Mays. March For Jesus is an international event that will join cities
in nations all over the world for the common purpose all Christians of
all denominations will agree upon - -Jesus is worthy to be praised and
the church needs to come out from behind its walls and bless its city,
its people, and its leaders. We will be joining not only Austin, Taylor,
and Bastrop on this day, but we will be joining cities all over the
world (beginning at the International Date Line) in a massive prayer
meeting. This is an event that is sponsored by the Round Rock
Ministers Fellowship and at least 23 Round Rock Churches who have
indicated that they would be supporting the march and have been
involved in the planning of it.
The Pastors Steering Committee for March For Jesus in Round
Rock would like to submit the following proposal that has been
approved by Fire Chief Bizzel and Police Chief Wolfe for a parade
down North Mays from Texas Avenue to the Texas Baptist Children's
Home at the intersection of Highway 79 on Saturday morning, June
25th, 1994. The marchers will begin to gather East of North Mays
and Texas Avenue at 9 a.m. in preparation for the parade. At 10:00
a.m. the parade will begin requiring the blocking of the two easts[de
lanes of North Mays. The Police Department propose to place their
vehicles in the center lane as a buffer protection for the marchers
from two way traffic on the two westside lanes of North Mays. We
calculate that it would require between 30 -45 minutes to move an
estimated 2000 marchers from the gathering point to a prayer rally
at the Texas Baptist Children's Home. There we plan to join the
various churches and denominations in singing, prayer and a special
offering for the Round Rock Serving Center. we plan for it to
conclude around noon,

We would also like to take this time to invite Mayor Charles
Culpepper and the Round Rock City Council Members to join the area
pastors on the stage to participate in this historic event. We would
like to publicly affirm our prayers for you and recognize the need for
all of the people of Round Rock to work together by God's power to
address the needs of our growing city. We would like to bless you.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal .
Sincerely,
March For Jesus
