TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — After the pandemic cancelled last year's Easter service, many churches and families in the area were excited to take part in service this year.
For many churches, Easter Sunday is the most important Sunday of the year as it is celebrated as the day Jesus was resurrected.
Many churches have leaned towards live-streaming services during the pandemic but are slowly opening things back up to their members.
"For the Christian, for the believer, Sunday's are important. Today, especially is important because we celebrate the resurrection today," said Pastor Terry Clark of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. "Last year we didn't have service. We still had the highest number of views we had was on resurrection Sunday."

At St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Brookshire, the family of Sherkeitha Kennedy gathered in support.
“It’s so senseless. It’s so senseless,” said Sherkeitha Kennedy, the boys’ mother.
Kennedy lost her two sons, 16-year-old DeCarerick Kennedy and 14-year-old Faybian Hoisington.
Harris County deputies said it all started Sunday after a car meet-up by K1 Speed Car where HCSO deputies were working. The fatal accident, deputies said, occurred at 9:30 p.m. Sunday on the Northwest Freeway near West Little York Road. Investigators said they believe that once the event ended, people from the event were part of the crowd that was formed during the street-racing incident.
