Signs of the Times
The coronavirus has posed problems for every corner of society, and as we saw over Easter weekend, churches have been no exception. Yet, whether blessing people in drive-through lines, using social media or the radio, during this Holy Week pastors have used every means at their disposal to keep close to their flocks. And as you’ll see in this photo essay from John Beale, they’ve also spread the good word in a variety of creative ways to passersby courtesy of their outside message boards and signs.
