At churches across the country, congregants flooded the parking lots — only to stay in their cars and listen to preachers on loudspeakers.
Similar scenes played out across the country.
Pastor Aaron Goodro preached and played music from the roof of First Baptist Church In Plaistow, New Hampshire, as worshippers stayed in their cars.
In Michigan, musicians braved the chilly rain to perform for drive-in congregants outside LIfe Church in Saginaw.
“You all need to make some noise for the band!” Pastor Jonathan Herron said from atop a large step stool.
A chorus of car horns responded in appreciation.
Virtual church services abound
Across the United States, many churches broadcast services online to help congregants protect themselves and others.
Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow delivered an Easter message during a livestream by Passion City Church in Atlanta.
Those who ignore distancing rules could face consequences
In Kentucky, authorities will punish those who gather and violate the state order, Gov. Andy Beshear said.
Authorities will record the license plates of those who show up to any gatherings and will give that information to local health departments.
Health officials will then order those violators to quarantine for 14 days, Beshear said.
Friday, the governor said about seven churches across Kentucky were still “thinking about” having in-person services this weekend.
“Folks, we shouldn’t have to do this,” Beshear said. “I think it’s not a test of faith whether you’re going to an in-person service — it’s a test of faith that you’re willing to sacrifice to protect your fellow man, your fellow woman, your fellow Kentuckian and your fellow American.”
