Joy to the World, The Lord has Come

"Joy to the World, The Lord has Come" was the theme for the 2008 entry in the Tournament of Roses Parade by the Southern California District of the International Lutheran Laymen's League.  They have been proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world through this special outreach for the past 58 years.

At the Rose Parade Committee Meeting on March 1, 2008, The Southern California LLL District made plans for their next float entitled "Hallelujah!" Once again, millions will view the Cross of Christ being raised high on Colorado Blvd.

The float will be in the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade, which has the theme: "Hats Off To Entertainment". Riders will include 16 Choir Members,  a Choir Director and an Organist.
