A
The
corona
virus
pandemic
is
now
heading
into
the
holiest
of
times
Easter
weekend
today
is
Good
Friday
and
joining
me.
Now
is
a
native
and
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
city
of
Biloxi,
someone
from
a
well-known
family,
not
only
in
East
Biloxi,
but
all
along
the
Mississippi
Gulf
Coast
and
beyond
you're
a
former
city
councilman
and
your
friend
of
the
city
of
Biloxi
and
now
the
first
Missionary
Baptist
Church
of
Biloxi,
pastor,
hello,
Eric
Vicki,
how
you
doing
don't
shake
my
hand?
That's.
A
B
The
most
part
congregational,
along
with
the
other
congregations
along
the
Mississippi
Gulf
Coast
and
throughout
the
world,
has
taken
the
measures
from
the
health
and
elected
officials,
both
state
and
national,
as
well
as
our
local
elected
officials
to
follow
they
stay
in
shelter
they
reduce
in
the
gathering.
So
generally,
we
have
anywhere
on
a
Sunday
three
to
four
hundred
members
with
the
two
services,
so
we
have
reduced
that
considerably
to
a
live
stream
via
Facebook
and
with
some
of
our
activities,
we're
either
done
teleconference
call
or
zoom
USA.
B
A
B
It's
always
been
that
question:
where
is
God
in
the
midst
of
this
pandemic,
and
we
always
have
to
remind
people.
God
is
everywhere,
he's
the
same
yesterday
today
and
forever,
and
what
he
does
is
he
give
us.
The
strength
occur
still
resilient.
It
is
no
different
than
Hurricane
Katrina
Hurricane
Camille
through
the
travesties
of
time
we
always
was
resilient.
We
always
you
know,
took
the
necessary
precaution,
whether
it's
a
pandemic
or
whether
there's
a
storm.
We
heed
to
the
orders
of
the
officials
and
we
vacated
we
evacuated
and
to
me
this
is
no
different.
B
It's
very
much
so
a
huge
disruption
we
take
in
place
our
seniors
and
I
you
that
I
used
to
go
into
church,
many
of
them
at
least
every
Sunday
for
worship
and
then
now
having
to
you,
know,
stay
at
home.
Many
of
our
seniors
do
not
have
that
latest
technology
in
terms
of
social
media
to
be
able
to
watch,
and
so
we
have
to
do
everything
we
can
to
stay
in
touch
with
them
by
phone
or
by
some
other
family.
That
can
go
there
and
touch
and
keep
it
in
touch
with
our
seniors.
A
A
B
A
B
Certainly,
Oh
gracious
father,
we
even
Paul's
right
now
in
the
midst
of
this
pandemic.
To
tell
you
thank
you
for
being
God
and
God
all
by
yourself.
Thank
you
for
your
hand
of
mercy.
Thank
you
for
your
hand
of
grace.
Thank
you
for
your
hand
of
kindness,
thank
you
for
forgiving
us
of
all
of
our
sins
in
many
disobedient
ways
and
all
God
as
we
acknowledge,
and
we
admonish
as
we
honor
this
day
as
Good
Friday
that
Friday
when
I,
Lord
and
save
it,
your
son
died
for
us
on
Calvary's,
Hill
Lord.
B
You
placed
him
in
the
heart
of
the
grave
for
three
days
and
then
Sunday
morning,
people
recognize
this
Easter
and
our
Resurrection
Sunday.
You
got
him
up
with
all
power
in
heaven
and
earth
in
his
hand,
and
certainly
the
Lord.
We
were
marveling
the
fact
that
we
are
able
to
come
and
offer
this
citywide
program.
We
ask
special
blessings
right
now:
pon
our
mayor
mayor
Gillett
and
the
seven
council
members
and
all
the
citizens
of
this
great
city
of
ours
and
the
communities
that
are
surrounded
Lord.
B
We
ask
that
O
God,
that
you
were
blessed
each
house,
that's
represented
in
our
city,
and
our
community
bless
now
boast
at
a
normally
used
to
come
into
your
sanctuary,
but
unable
to
they
recognize
that
your
presence
alone
within
our
heart
is
just
as
great
as
being
in
a
facility.
We
accident
God
that
you
will
continue
to
lend
this
hand
that
will
continue
to
spread
your
gospel
through
social
media
live
streaming,
as
we
are
doing
even
now.
Lord
that
your
hand
of
Mercy
will
continue
to
supply
all
our
needs.
In
that
time,
Lord.
B
We
are
special
blessings
upon
our
health
officials,
those
doctors
and
nurses
and
technicians
who
are
putting
their
lives
at
risk
to
administer
and
serve
those
that
are
sick
and
those
that
have
been
tested.
Positive
Lord
that,
as
they
come
in
contact
law
that
they
are
protected,
we
I
so
God
all
that
they
do
that
you
will
get
the
glory
and
the
honor
and
the
praise
these
another
blessings.
We
petition
in
your
son,
Jesus
name,
for
it
is
his
prayer.
We
pray
amen.
Thank
you.
A
We
leave
you
now
with
another
special
moment.
It
was
in
2011
on
the
sixth
anniversary
of
Hurricane
Katrina
on
the
Biloxi
town,
green
Ronnie,
Broussard,
the
local
actor
entertainer
director
producer
and
a
makeup
artist
to
the
stars.
He
debuted
a
new
song
that
he
had
just
written
and
it
talked
about
Biloxi's
challenges,
all
the
challenges
we
faced
after
Hurricane
Katrina,
it's
called
I
want
to
come
home
and
when
he
says
home
he
means
Biloxi.
Mayor
Holloway
said
his
wife.
Macklin
cried
for
two
days
after
she
heard
this
song.
