‘Expect to feel church again.’ Michigan churches reopen doors for Easter Sunday
Updated 9:28 AM;
SAGINAW, MI — For two decades, the Rev. Hurley J. Coleman Jr. has ministered to the congregation of Saginaw’s World Outreach Campus Church.
And for the past year, like many other faith leaders, he has done so virtually as members of his nondenominational Christian church have worshipped together from afar via Facebook, YouTube and other platforms.
But on April 4, Easter Sunday, he’ll welcome some of them back in person for the first time.
Some things will be different. There will be more empty seats, people will wear face masks, and the service will be shorter than usual. But other things — perhaps the things that matter the most — will be very much the same.
