Northwest Louisiana churches react to governor lifting capacity limits (Source: WWNY) By Chandler Watkins | March 3, 2021 at 10:33 PM CST - Updated March 4 at 9:33 AM SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - With Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards announcing that the state is moving into Phase 3, religious services will have no capacity limits going forward. Some northwest Louisiana pastors say their churches will continue doing what they have been doing for months by holding limited in-person services, online services, and some even worshipping outside in the parking lot. Uelyss Reed Jr., pastor of Stonewall Baptist Church, says a COVID-19 outbreak at the Bossier City church in October of 2020 caused more than 20 people, including himself, to contract the virus. He says two church members died.
