This year's route begins at 11:30 a.m. at St. John's United Church of Christ, corner of Jackson and College. The route follows:
• Begins at St. John's UCC

• St. Mary's Catholic
• First Mennonite
• Concludes at First United Methodist
There will be no inside service. Instead the participants will be dismissing follwing the final prayer a First United Methodist.
