unriSJe erviceesew ueSTamensT riTing S S & n T w Easter Morning Downtown Whiteville April 8, 2012
Te staf of Te News Reporter would like to invite all of our readers to downtown Whiteville on Easter Sunday for a community sunrise service and event that we believe has not been attempted anywhere in the world. Together, we will write the entire New Testament in beautiful colors along 11 city blocks for all the world to see. Afer the worship service, church volunteers will hand out chalk and numbered Scripture sheets to participants. We’ll simply walk to the corresponding numbered tiles, and then we will kneel and write. What a glorious way for our community to worship on Easter morning, and to express our love for Jesus!
