Year into pandemic, churches plan for Easter
Oakridger
This year marks the second Easter or Resurrection Sunday since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many Oak Ridge churches are adapting in various ways for services.
“Many members in our congregation have felt isolated in their homes over the last year. This Easter celebration allows us to remember what it means for us to be a community of faith. We are all in this together. In the past, we too often took fellowship and connection to our brothers and sisters in Christ for granted. We won’t take those life-giving gifts for granted anymore,” Pastor Mark Flynn of First United Methodist Church of Oak Ridge stated.
