Karen, you spoke to a local church in redding about what it was like to stream today's easter service---what did they tell you?

Executive pastor at pathway church in redding---todd skinner---tells me the transition to stream services online---has been "different" but all in all, it's been a smooth one.

Skinner tells me easter services tends to draw over 1,000 people at their church--- but today there were 4 to 5 administrators making sure that easter service was streamed online.

When it comes to streaming services virtually--- skinner says it's not something new to them since they've been doing it for a while now--- it's caused us to have to do something, that i think, as we've been talking& we're going to do more of as after we're allowed to meet together."

Skinner tells me the feedback from his congrgation has been a positive one---not being able to have that person-to person contact is something they look forward to having again.

Streaming services online is something many places of worship are doing right now---as they try to stay in touch with the community.
