March 14, 2002 The Kings Mountain Herald produced the first annual event. CrossWalk Second annual Easter drama to be presented in downtown KM Once again the night skies above the tomb will be accented with the vision of angels and the sound of beautiful music as the trio RainChild returns to their role as heavenly beings in this year’s production of CrossWalk: The Trail of Amazing Grace. CrossWalk will take place in downtown Kings Mountain on the evenings of March 21-23. Admission is free, but tickets are neces- sary and may be obtained at the Regal Ventures office, Alexander Business Park, 104 East Gold Street. RainChild, then known as “Soul Desire,” was for many a mean- ingful touch at the concluding scene of last year’s presentation. “Ever since then, we have had people asking us if they would be back for this year’s presentation,” said Reg Alexander, Director of Regal Ventures, the non-profit organization that developed and In addition to the concluding scene at the tomb, Alexander said the angels will be seen and heard just before the “Last Supper” tableau. And, they won't be alone. “This year, we've added to the mystery of the angelic realm by also providing a host of angles that will render interpretive move- ment to the lyrics of the music,” he said, referring to a group of young people from Christian Freedom Baptist Church. CrossWalk premiered last year as a one-of-a-kind event, retelling the story of the first Easter in which the audience forms a tour group and actually walks through the entire dramatic pres- entation, following Jesus and the disciples from one event to the other.

We need donations to help with the expenses, and human beings in costume to help with the ambiance.” Persons interested in participating may call Regal Ventures at 739-3838.

Marion St., gave the use of his store build- ing to start the church. The first service in the store building was on January 27, 1952. The church has had three names. It was first called Carson's Chapel, and later became Carson Memorial. It is an independent Baptist church with no ties to any association. Although no official records were kept during the early years, Rev. Kirk estimated that about 30 to 40 children and teenagers, as well as a few adults, attended the first service.

Kirk said the church con- tinued to use the store building, and on occasion persons who thought it was still a store would come in during services and walk halfway down the aisle before realizing they were in a church. Between the first and second year after its organization, Kirk said a 30 by 40 foot concrete building was constructed at the church’s present location. In 1957 a fellowship /youth build- ing was built adjacent to the church, and in 1970-71 land was purchased to extend the length of the building to 30 x 75 feet, along with aside addition of 20 x 40 feet. In 1999 an extension was put on the front of the building, adding rest room facil- ities and a handicap ramp. Rev.
