LIVINGSTON, New Jersey – (ANS) – Stay-at-home mandates across the country as the result of COVID-19 are changing the way Easter Sunday will look for many Americans. However, a group of church leaders plan to deliver the message of the Gospel during a national video streaming broadcast event called Easter Across America.
NEWS RELEASE – CHURCHCOMMUNICATIONS.COM
It will be a free two-hour video streaming event offered on Facebook and EasterAcrossAmerica.com beginning at 7pm EDT, 4pm PDT.
Almost all families will have to forgo the big holiday dinners with extended family, egg hunts, and other outdoor group activities typically associated with the holiday. Social distancing and shelter-in-place quarantine measures have been in effect for weeks in various parts of the country and many Americans are starting to feel the effects of isolation and an uncertain future.
“It’s time to place a pause on the pandemic and be reminded of the treasured message of hope and renewal in the Easter Story,” said Kenny Jahng, co-lead of ChurchCommuncations.com, which has a membership of 24,000+ church leaders across the country. “We’re seeing that people are yearning for a sense of unity and shared experiences again,” said Jahng.
“We feel that Easter Across America is what the country needs right now,” according to Katie Allred, founder of ChurchCommunications.com’s Facebook Group.
The event promises a mix of family-centric content, featuring brief messages from prominent preachers, engaging music segments, eclectic comedy routines, and other segments offering a moment to laugh, relax and focus on the message of Easter tradition. The current schedule includes:
- Andy Stanley
- Bob Goff
- Max Lucado
- Miles McPherson
- Edgar Sandoval Sr.
- Michael W. Smith
- Cody Carnes
- Mark Hall of Casting Crowns
- Candace Payne
- Michael Jr.
And many more
