Some Metro Detroit businesses struggle to find employees during COVID pandemic
DETROIT – Some businesses are thriving during the coronavirus by producing products that are in high demand, but they’re struggling to find people willing to work.
Craig Van Riper is the CEO of Preferred Packaging Solutions in Taylor. They make cardboard boxes, which are in high demand during the pandemic as shopping has turned to shipping. Riper said there are not enough people working so the company is struggling to keep up with demand.
COVID-19 changes some Ash Wednesday traditions at Detroit area churches
Some Metro Detroit congregations chose to continue Lenten traditions despite risks from COVID-19 while others adapted their practices.
In downtown Detroit, St. Aloysius Catholic Church held close to some Ash Wednesday rituals by holding an in-person Mass but sprinkled ashes on parishioners heads rather than Archbishop of Detroit Allen Vigneron using his finger and ashes to make the traditional cross on the forehead.
About 22 miles away, the Birmingham First United Methodist Church on Maple Road adapted its tradition by holding services online but offering drive-thru stations outside the church where congregants could pick up Lent goody bags that included a temporary tattoo of a cross to replace the cross of ashes on the forehead.
