BATON ROUGE- With the change in capacity limits for churches Easter Sunday will look busier than last year, pastors comparing it to Super Bowl Sunday. There was no Easter service last year, none of them, it was almost like an earth-shaking kind of event,” said Bishop Michael Duca of the Baton Rouge Diocese. It s tough just talking to a camera, but when you re able to talk to your brothers and sisters, having people is just going to bring it to a whole other level,” said Pastor of Healing Place Church Mike Haman.
