“take up his cross, and follow me”
Matthew 16:24, 1599 Geneva Bible
Corvallis,
MT – The
Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot are a group made up of followers of Jesus
Christ who have served in the military. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ
and a veteran, then you have a place in this group. Our motto is “give back
with love,” and our goal is to help fellow veterans, their families and the local
community through prayer and work. We want all Christians, particularly
veterans, to know that they are not alone and we and others are here to help
them.
As a group we believe it is time for local
Christians to stand up and show solidarity with fellow Christians here and
around the world. The Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot are asking all Christians
in the Bitterroot Valley to “March for Jesus Christ” on Holy Saturday, March
26, 2016.
The march will start at 7:00 a.m. at the Angler’s
Roost Bridge south of Hamilton. We will proceed north along the U.S. Highway 93
pedestrian path to the Set Free Christian Fellowship Church in Lolo, Montana.
Walk 1 mile, 3 miles, 20 miles or the entire 40
miles to Lolo.
We are asking all of the Bitterroot Valley Churches
to participate by walking a three mile section as a group. If you can’t walk
it, then provide a station with water, power bars, drinks, etc., to help those
who are walking. Last year we had churches, organizations, families and
individuals carry The Cross in three mile increments from Lolo to Hamilton. We still
need cross bearers for this year’s march.
You don’t need to be a veteran to participate in the
march. Please pray for those planning this great event.

breakfast at BJ’s every Monday at 7:00 am.
