The Coronavirus has had a huge impact on the United States, temporarily
closing schools, businesses, and even churches. In a few days, Easter will be
here, and while many of us would typically be in a house of worship, this year
will be different. Staying home and refraining from gathering in large groups
is the best way to beat this virus, this invisible enemy. However, just because
we can’t be inside our church buildings doesn’t mean that we can’t still be the
church. There are plenty of ways we can still celebrate this wonderful, joyous
holiday while saying safe at home.
We encourage you to stay safe at home this Easter while still honoring the Lord! |
Facebook Live Service: If your church family would still
like to host a service but want to keep the health and well-being of the
congregation their top priority, then Facebook Live is a great alternative to
meeting in person. The pastor can preach from home and share a live stream for
all to tune in. The service can even be held at the same time(s) as it normally
would be.
Video Chat: Part of social distancing means that you can’t
go visit family on Easter or have a big dinner at grandma’s house. However, you
can still check-in with loved ones on this holiday that you all hold so dear. You
could even video chat while eating, so you can feel like you’re eating together.
Singing Worship Songs: You don’t have to miss out on worship
songs on Easter Sunday. Pop in a CD, turn up your iTunes, or search songs on
YouTube. Play your favorite worships songs and sing away. Being at home instead
of at the church building shouldn’t keep you from worshipping if you’d like.
Baking Easter Goodies: Baking is the best way to fill your
home with joy and warmth, especially on a holiday where you must be at home. Find
fun, Easter recipes online for cupcakes, breads, cookies, pies, and more.
Coloring Easter Eggs: Coloring hard-boiled eggs is a fun
Easter tradition for many. Staying at home for the holiday means you can still
take part in this fun activity.
No matter how you choose to spend the holiday weekend, from
all of us at ARK Realty LLC, we wish you a very blessed Easter! Stay safe at
home. Get creative and enjoy the Easter holiday.
