God will make a way : Detroit churches give Easter messages of hope amid pandemic
A year ago, an executive order from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kept people in their homes and made Easter services virtual as the pandemic surged.
Now, while COVID-19 restrictions across the state have eased, allowing for in-person religious services, cases of the virus are surging again, reaching levels not seen since the fall.
But the message in some Detroit churches was of how much hope has been gained since last year s Resurrection Sunday.
During the outdoor service at Christ Church, 960 E. Jefferson Ave, the sun heated members faces as the Detroit River offered a cool breeze. Birds chirped while the Rev. Emily Williams Guffey gave a short message on God making a way through hard times.
