With the usual egg hunt and other holiday festivities paused this year, the Buena Vista Pentecostal Holiness Church celebrated Easter Saturday with a drive-thru event, complete with a properly masked Easter bunny. Children received a bag of goodies, along with children’s notes for the church’s Easter service and a packet of candy filled eggs to hide at home. (Stephanie Mikels Blevins photos)

It was a beautiful Easter morning for an outdoor Easter worship service on the parking lot of Glasgow Baptist Church. Approximately 40 vehicles drove in for the service, most with more one person in them. Pastor Larry Ross, with the help of our in-house sound tech, Wes Bradley, provided music on tape, and Pastor Ross and his wife Janice, sang a duet before he delivered his Easter sermon.

Easter brought lots of excitement for area children, as shown in these two photos that were posted on The News-Gazette’s Facebook page. ABOVE, Aubrey Garrett celebrates her first Easter. AT RIGHT, the Easter Bunny decided to leave a basket on Ezequiel Martinez’s favorite place to play on - a mud hill. He left him instructions to look all around the house for some eggs and on the hill he would find his surprise.
