Several local churches will be changing up the way they worship in order to allow their congregations to follow the proper rules for social distancing amidst the coronavirus crisis.
For some churches, this means canceling in-person services at the church and opting to live stream sermons instead; others are hosting drive-in services or sermons on the lawn.
Don't see your church listed? Contact Debbie Snapp at (850) 997-3568 or debbiesnapp@embarqmail.com to add your church to the list.
Be prepared to provide a telephone number, the pastor's name, church website and information on how your church is changing services during this health crisis.
