Colorado Springs, CO – Good Friday online services are an opportunity to reach more people in this challenging time of isolation due to COVID-19. That is something to celebrate.
It is Easter weekend, and today is Good Friday. Millions of Christians at churches around the world will be celebrating. Some of them will attend churches, and many others will attend services online.
KKTV spoke with a couple of pastors about the switch to online services during this important week in the Christian faith. Both of them offered hopeful remarks on the opportunity to reach more people around the world.
“I think that there’s people that otherwise wouldn’t go to church on a weekend, but given all that people are going through and trying to sort through all of these different emotions that people have in this season we are in, I think people are a little more open,” Lindstrom said.

“The message of Jesus is a very hopeful message. It’s a very encouraging message, and right now, people need a lot of encouragement. People need a lot of hope,” Boyd said. “They need a lot of strength, and we’re finding that tens of thousands of people are tuning into our church services that would have never probably come into our doors right now, but they’re tuning in because they’re looking for answers. They’re looking for hope. They’re looking for something that will strengthen their lives.”

These are fantastic messages of hope on perhaps the most important weekend of the year. So, rejoice, and joint your friends, family, and congregations in online services this weekend!
