Amid the COVID-19 crisis, churches across the nation have shown themselves to be beacons of hope—providing food and social services, pastoral care, and online worship. The Presbyterian Historical Society has responded to this unprecedented moment by gathering 2020 Easter Sunday worship services and sermons from PC(USA) congregations and other worshiping communities. The COVID-19 collection is a curated selection of these contributions, including services from congregations in California, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania -- including Arabic and Hakha Chin services from First Presbyterian Church (Allentown, Pa.) -- Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Time To Mourn: An Ecumenical Memorial Service For Lives Lost to COVID-19.
Join with faith leaders from the National Council of Churches for “A Time
to Mourn: An Ecumenical Memorial Service for Lives Lost to COVID-19” on
Sunday, May 24 at 6 p.m. Through prayers, scripture readings in multiple
languages, a list of names of those who have died from COVID19, and a
sermonic reflection, the service will provide space for people to grieve,
remember loved ones, and support one another.
