Together for Easter service Easter services By Russell Jones | April 4, 2021 at 10:36 AM CDT - Updated April 4 at 10:36 AM BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - This Easter, many churches are returning to the sanctuary after worshipping online last year. Shades Mountain Baptist welcomed their congregation on campus. Pastor Danny Wood said they’re still using safety guidelines to protect everyone, but he’s thrilled to worship together on the resurrection day. Wood said this was also the first time the choir performed together in the sanctuary in a long time. “It’s nice to have the technology to live stream and connect people that way, but nothing will substitute being face to face and seeing people and having that closeness of fellowship,” said Wood.
