Heartland churches see increases in in-person services
Heartland churches see increases in in-person services By Mike Mohundro | January 31, 2021 at 3:24 PM CST - Updated January 31 at 10:16 PM
JACKSON, Mo. (KFVS) - We saw several hundred of people gather in-person at the Connection Point Church in Jackson on Sunday.
The in-person service has grown significantly in the past month or more as COVID numbers have declined some and as vaccinations have arrived.
Senior Pastor Chris Vaught said it’s great to see so many people come back to the church and gather together again.
“They’re seeing some hope at the end of the tunnel. People are starting to come out. Their need in the community and the encouragement they get with gathering with other believers,” Vaught said. “We’re also seeing those coming in now the last couple weeks who have recently been vaccinated. They’ve got more of a relief about being able to come back to church.”
