Click any image above for larger version. It is rare that a newspaper, large or small, joins with its community the way The News Reporter has, with its events, donations, and staff volunteerism. Especially when economic times are hard, most corporations fold up their "unnecessary" programs that don't improve the profit line. We are fortunate here in Columbus County to have a family-run newspaper, run by a family like the Highs. They understand that it is these very times when their community needs them the most, and they continue their support. We could not have organized Walk With Jesus, and it absolutely could not have been produced, without the support of The News Reporter. They contributed everything from staff time, to equipment, free advertising, and full pages for organization, instruction and coverage of this event. |

Gary Collier photo from Dawson Simmons' plane. As they planned a massive event that had never been attempted before, organizers of Walk With Jesus were anxious right up to the very day, whether it would be received as well as they had hoped for months. All that anxiety disappeared within the hour Sunday morning as an estimated more than 1,000 people appeared out of the sunrise to attend an Easter service and hand write, using chalk on sidewalk, the entire New Testament. Early estimates are that at least 80-90 percent of the 27 books were completed. Photographs of each sidewalk square are being taken and will be posted online in the next few weeks. Reporters from three of the area television networks covered the event, as well as several newspapers, including the News & Observer of Raleigh and The To help organize an event for 2013, we need your input. Please tell us your inspiring stories about how you felt before, during and after Walk With Jesus. What would you change? How may it be improved? Just leave a comment below.
The media have a lot of gear, and for other reasons, we have a small parking area set out for them. Please just enter the Handicap Parking lot off Lee Street and park way in the back of it. Media may also use our wi-fi inside, if you can track down a News Reporter employee to let you in. Contact Mark Gilchrist at (910) 207-1920 for help. You will find a good crowd of writers in the BB&T north lot (very top of this photo). Also check out the depot which should have about 60 writers on the rear covered platform (Batten Pavilion.) This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar.
