After over a year of accommodating ever-changing COVID-19 mitigation practices and a vulnerable elderly congregation, Grace Bible Church in Sun City is looking forward to having their congregation fill the pews on Easter Sunday.
Despite being open for in-person services during the Christmas holidays, church spokesperson Linda Williams said this Easter feels like a return to some normalcy thanks to Arizona’s increased vaccine rollout providing some protection for the congregation of over 700 people.
“People slowly started coming back because they were afraid of being with a crowd of people because of COVID,” said Mrs. Williams. “We’ve got several coming now and, especially since a lot of us have gotten the vaccine or have been vaccinated, they feel safer about coming. So we see our numbers constantly, continually increasing.”
