It's time to pray, kneel, and Walk With Jesus!

Organizers have prepared extensively for a first-of-its-kind event Easter morning, and having cleared a major hurdle, are ready for a tremendous and joyous turnout.

One factor that could have ruined all the intricate plans for this unique outdoor event was rain, even just a little of which would have put a stop to any writing with chalk on the sidewalk. But forecasts are firmly predicting zero chance of showers Sunday.
Markers are appearing down Madison Street and some

 cross streets denoting where each of the 27 books of the New Testament will begin.

The first one, Matthew, will be written entirely in the parking lot of the BB&T main branch.

The books will go up one side of Madison Street and down the other to the depot at Main Street. They will then go back up Madison, returning to BB&T with Revelation.

In all, 1,332 sidewalk tiles will hold this massive transcription of the New Testament.

All churches, families and individuals are invited to attend the sunrise service and to participate in the writing. Several have signed up to lead efforts on each book, and they will need and invite help from anyone who offers.

Dress is casual for the service and writing, and organizers stress that the event has been scheduled so that people will be able to return to their churches in time for their services. Last-minute changes and details will be available through a link at Whiteville.com.
