NASHVILLE (BP) â Working through a time of grief. Exhausted from what theyâve been through. Excited about whatâs to come.
As pastors prepare for Easter this year, they may have more insight on how Jesusâ followers felt leading up to the first Resurrection Sunday.
And much like those early gatherings of believers, Easter celebrations at church services may not be full of people but will probably be full of hope and optimism for the future.
Around 2 in 5 Christians (39 percent) say they plan to attend Easter services in person this year, according to Pew Research. Thatâs significantly lower than the 62 percent who say they normally attend such services.
