greenvilleonline | The worshipers filed in row by row,
sedans in front, trucks in back. It was Friday night after a long week
of news centered around the novel coronavirus and this congregation came
to sing, to dance, to laugh and to connect – and to do it all from
their cars.
In a new uncertain era,
American ingenuity notched another victory at Relentless Church in
Greenville Friday evening as Pastors John and Aventer Gray led worship
drive-in style for hundreds of people who each sat isolated yet not
alone – cars running, windows rolled up, listening along on the radio –
as Gray danced his way to the microphone and welcomed them to an
innovative service before a pre-recorded video of an hour-long church
service played on a giant projection screen.
“We are in the middle of a global pandemic, but we are still the church
and we are not going to allow anything to stop us from doing two
things: worshiping God and honoring our elected officials who have told
us to maintain social distancing,” Gray said as he opened the service.
“And so even though the enemy doesn't want us to gather, he can't stop
us from worshiping in our cars.”
