For many Christian preachers and their congregations, Easter 2020 brought an unthinkable scenario to vivid life: Church buildings were closed on the holiest day in the Christian calendar.
This year, most metro-area churches are hosting in-person worship services to celebrate Christ s resurrection, and several have literally thought outside the box by offering outdoor Easter services in a variety of locations because the COVID-19 pandemic is still a concern.
Frontline Edmond will host 9 and 11 a.m. worship services on Sunday at the Mitch Park Amphitheater, 1501 W Covell in Edmond.
Fifth Street Baptist Church is planning a Pull Up and Praise Easter service at 9:30 a.m. Sunday outside Millwood High School, 6724 N Martin Luther King Ave.

Ground will be ceremonially broken Tuesday to expand a youth arts center just north of downtown Milwaukee. But it will be done with a sledgehammer.
The organization will expand into the lower level of the building, adding two rehearsal halls, six studios and six small-group instruction rooms. The existing space, spread over a first floor and mezzanine level, includes offices, five rehearsal spaces, nine studio rooms and two practice rooms.

After some time in limbo, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol received the green light for this year’s trooper academy.
Due to budget cuts, the academy was to be put on hold, but the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and Oklahoma State Banking Department funded the academy.
“In this particular case, we are looking at about $6.5 million to run an academy that would be somewhere around 60-65 cadets,” said Lt. Shelby Humphrey. “Understand that figure covers their first year of salary and all of their equipment.”
The academy is no easy task. Recruiters said, in it you learn more about yourself than you ever thought you would.
