Almost all families will have to forgo the big holiday dinners with extended family, egg hunts, and other outdoor group activities typically associated with the holiday. Social distancing and shelter-in-place quarantine measures have been in effect for weeks in various parts of the country and many Americans are starting to feel the effects of isolation and an uncertain future.
"It's time to place a pause on the pandemic and be reminded of the treasured message of hope and renewal in the Easter Story," said Kenny Jahng, co-lead of ChurchCommuncations.com, which has a membership of 24,000+ church leaders across the country. "We're seeing that people are yearning for a sense of unity and shared experiences again," said Jahng.
"We feel that Easter Across America is what the country needs right now," according to Katie Allred, founder of ChurchCommunications.com's Facebook Group.
The event promises a mix of family-centric content, featuring brief messages from prominent preachers, engaging music segments, eclectic comedy routines, and other segments offering a moment to laugh, relax and focus on the message of Easter tradition. The current schedule includes:
- Andy Stanley
