JEFFERSON COUNTY, Texas — Although many churches aren't able to physically meet for this year's Easter Sunday, church leaders are still finding ways to speak to their followers.
Orders to stay at home and practice social distancing is affecting how believers worship all over the world.
Churches have been making nontraditional adjustments to service, with many of them meeting virtually, in parking lots, and even over the radio.
This Easter Sunday won't be much different with the stay at home orders still in place until May 1.
