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.
Victory Church has campuses in Norcross, Midtown and at Hamilton Mill in Buford.
“Church is made up of people, not a building,” the church’s website notes. “We’re a church of more than 100 different nationalities, a wide range of ages, singles, married couples, families, and people from all different church backgrounds. Every weekend we worship Him together with a live band in an energetic and intimate atmosphere followed by a relevant and dynamic teaching.”
In addition to Victory Atlanta’s service, WSB-TV is streaming several services on the WSB Now app:
Sunday at 8 a.m. Roswell United Methodist Church
Sunday at 11 a.m. Johns Creek Baptist Church
Sunday 2 p.m. Cathedral of Christ the King
Watch the services on wsbtv.com, the WSB Now stream or download the WSB Now app for Roku, Apple TV or your Amazon Fire and watch the services there.
WSBTV.com also features the Easter service from New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
