b"\\u201cWe\\u2019ve got to acknowledge that this is Holy Week, and that it\\u2019s going to be different, but that we\\u2019re still going to go through it together.\\u201d That\\u2019s how Rev. Nate Nims, Senior Pastor of Grace United Methodist Church describes the sacred journey from Palm Sunday to Easter. Even in a time of physical distancing the Grace community is connecting with each other, whether by children waving their colored palm activity sheets in their homes during the service or the contacts made among friends in \\u201cbridge the gap\\u201d groups. Worshipping together, via Facebook has led to 500,000 interactions, thousands of viewings of posted videos, and a 400% increase in their website traffic. Even though physically distanced in the midst of the Coronavirus health crisis, \\u201cwe\\u2019re trusting that God will still be God\\u201d says Rev. Nims, and \\u201cthose things that we have taken for granted just won't be taken for granted anymore\\u2026the connections that we have with one another are so important.\\u201d"
