(Worthy News) – More than a thousand people gathered on a beach in California to hold a worship service while churches are closed over coronavirus concerns.
“They miss their church families,” said Pastor Barry Sappington, who helped organize the service on Sunday. “They miss worshipping. Worship is a core part of a Christ follower’s life, and as you can see, people don’t want to go anywhere. They want to gather, they want to worship, and this is a perfect venue for them to do so.”
Local San Diego outlet NBC 7 reported an estimated 1,250 people gathered on Cardiff State Beach for a two-hour service and to also protest the closures of churches. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
