Question calvin groen: "how can we be a community together at this time?"

Answer: drive in church eugene church of christ on norkenzie road is inviting people to roll up sunday to join in their first ever drive in church service.

It works just like a drive in movie.

People tune in by radio... and connect with each other even if it's just through a car window which minister calvin groen says was all approved by the police department "we're going to have health care workers hand out communion cups so they're hygeinically sealed and everything and that will happen as people drive in" their number one mission is keeping people safe, but the purpose?

"we were even excited to just see each other through windows and windshields - just give a little wave and a little word of encouragement" on a normal sunday the church would have around 150 people in the congregation.

This sunday?

They're prepared for a lot more.

Ej: "across our state churches are planning virtual meetings in one way or another.
