Local churches that will livestream their Easter Sunday services
Baton Rouge’s houses of worships will not be packed with families wearing their prettiest dresses and sharpest suits this Easter. For the first time in decades, the pews will be empty on what is traditionally the most well-attended Sunday of the year. But the coronavirus can’t keep local congregations from celebrating the origin and hope of the holiday together by gathering in a new way–through livestreamed services on their Facebook pages, YouTube channels and other online outlets.
