PHOENIX â It's a tradition for many: attending church on Easter Sunday. Last year, during the height of the pandemic, churches across the Valley canceled in-person services.
But on Sunday, parishioners once again gathered to celebrate.
At North Phoenix Baptist Church, volunteers waved signs and cheered as cars drove into the parking lot.
A stage and chairs were set up on the lawn, with thousands expected in attendance.
Pastor Noe Garcia said they had three choices: either sit on the lawn, listen from inside their vehicles, or sit outside of their cars.
