The second annual Carrying our Community’s Cross event will be Saturday, April 19 at 9 a.m. CT.
Jerry Bacon who is one of the organizers of the event said this will be a time to focus on the help that churches and organizations give to those in the community.
The organizers of an Easter-eve walk from Knox to North Judson hope their event will raise awareness of many problems that plague Starke County.
“One person can’t fix it all, but as a community we can come together, and we can show these people that we care about ’em,” organizer Jerry Bacon told the crowd prior to the start of the event. “We don’t want to see ’em all thrown in jail because they’re all addicted to drugs. We want to see ’em delivered from that. We want to see ’em set free from that addiction. We don’t want to see people without jobs. We want to see jobs brought into our community and people working and taken out of the situations they’re in.”
“We just want to bring awareness to our community, things going on in our community. I’m calling this ‘Take Up Our Community’s Cross.’ Different things we hear about; meth, we hear about different problems going on – unemployment, depression – just all kinds of things, and this is just an act of love to show people that we care,” Bacon explained.
