RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - When Governor Ralph Northam made his announcement to increase COVID-19 restrictions in Virginia, he also made a plea to church leaders, asking them to keep churchgoers safe.
Richmond’s First Baptist Church says they’ve made several changes to their services since the pandemic began. On Sunday mornings, the church’s congregation watches religious services at home.
