ATLANTA -- Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus this weekend, but Easter 2020 will be one to remember.
“The Lord is risen!”
With a shelter-in-place order issued by the state of Georgia due to the coronavirus pandemic, churches will sit empty, there won’t be many large family gatherings and most Easter outfits will sit in a closet.
But that doesn’t mean people won’t still commemorate the holiday. They’ll just do it differently this year.
Since people can’t make it to church, the church is coming to the people. Dozens of local churches have moved their services online. WSB-TV is teaming up with several churches to bring their Easter messages to the masses.
Johns Creek Baptist Church is in Alpharetta, near a point where Fulton, Forsyth and Gwinnett counties meet.
“Here at JCBC, we respect and value all of the diverse ways God meets us and loves us along life’s journey," the church’s website notes. “That’s why, regardless of who you are, or where you’ve been, you are welcome and wanted here.”
Watch Johns Creek Baptist Church’s Easter service led by Dr. Shaun King here on wsbtv.com Sunday at 11 a.m. and on the WSB Now app.
In addition to Johns Creek’s service, WSB-TV is streaming several services on the WSB Now app:
