Wishing each of you a very Happy Easter! This year Easter Sunday will stand out and go down in history and one we’ll never forget! Many area churches are making plans to do something special. Some services will be held online or perhaps on YouTube for their congregation on Easter Sunday. Many are doing this for the safety of their congregation. Several local churches have been holding church on social media, or online for the last couple of weeks. Most area churches will not be holding services in their church this Easter Sunday! Be sure and check with your church to see what plans they have made for their Easter services.

Thank you to all who remain at their duty stations and to those who are keeping the home fires burning during this season of trial and testing.
