Petal Pushers®

Building off the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade Theme, “The Magic in Teamwork”, The Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) Float Committee proudly presents its Float, “Bringing Christ to the Nations.” This year’s float features a Team Jesus Blimp flying over the world and coming forth from the church as Jesus celebrates with 12 modern day disciples as it features the message ALL WELCOME. “Team Jesus” serves as a reminder that it takes all to fulfill the callings Christ has placed upon us to do the work of bringing Christ and his redeeming love to the world. LHM invites you to meet or meet anew the source of hope and joy that cannot be taken away. Come, see, hear, and experience the goodness of Jesus Christ.

About the Petal Pushers: More than 4,000 volunteers from across the United States and Canada come together to help build floats. The Petal Pushers work on a variety of floats, giving them an opportunity to work side-by-side with people from many different backgrounds, believers and non-believers alike.

The LHM float is a self-funded project of the Lutheran Hour Ministries Float Committee and the Southern California District of the International Lutheran Laymen’s League. The committee’s ongoing work is funded primarily by generous donations from Christian friends and multiple fundraising activities and is not included in the operating budget of Lutheran Hour Ministries.
