For the very first time... unlimited ministries of alabama held a drive-in service for easter sunday.

Shawn drake/ church member "since being stuck at home for a long time, it was amazing to be here even though we couldn't get close to each other."

Shawn drake/ church member "if we felt the need, we blew our horns and waived.
