The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced most people to change the way they interact with others at work, at school and at play, and houses of worship are no different.
Worship leaders in Terrebonne and Lafourche say attendance at services is down physically, but virtual outreach has brought in new members, even from outside of Louisiana.
Many of those leaders say congregations have supported one another both emotionally and spiritually in the safest ways they can and have grown closer as a result.
The Rev. John Cox, of University Baptist Church in Thibodaux, said members of his congregation have found creative ways to retain the social interactions that were made difficult or impossible during the pandemic.
