Megan Smith (Union Avenue Baptist Church Secretary) stated, “we wanted to provide a safe place for residents to come and worship on Easter Sunday morning.”

Union Avenue Baptist Church is hosting a sunrise service this Easter Sunday. Church officials say this event is open to the public. The Sunrise Service will take place outdoors at the Overton Park Shell, in Memphis, Tennessee, Sunday morning at 7am. Megan Smith (Union Avenue Baptist Church Secretary) informed us, “I know a lot of people have gotten their vaccine and their feeling more comfortable around people, and to know we are following all guidelines. That should comfort people as well.”
