Church gatherings were banned early on, but even a drive-in service for Easter Sunday was cancelled by recommendation of state health officials. Some churches wanted to hold "drive-in" services where they collected in a spacious parking lot, stay in their cars and listen to Easter services through Facebook Live and short distance radio broadcast, but even that was deemed too risky. Although disappointed, the faithful understood the caution and reaffirmed their faith on the important Easter holiday in other creative and meaningful ways.
