(Beaver County, PA) For the third week in a row, reaction to the Corona virus pandemic continues to force the suspension or cancellation of large gatherings, including worship services across Pennsylvania. Along that line, WBVP, WMBA and 99.3 F.M. are pleased to be the “pulpit” of the airwaves during this time and help nearby preachers reach their flock by putting their voice into the speaker of the radio . Local listeners and parishioners can tune in to four different church and faith based programs this Palm Sunday weekend. At 9 A.M. on Sunday morning, April 5, live Sunday Mass from St. Monica Catholic Parish in Chippewa will still take place even though the church is closed to the public. Then, at 10 A.M., a recorded version of this week’s message from Christian Dimensions, featuring Aliquippa native Jackie Billingslea-Davis, will provide worship and inspiration from a Jewish tradition and perspective. At 10:30 A.M., The Soma Gathering in Beaver Falls is sponsoring a segment featuring Pastor Jan Davis from Central United Methodist church in Beaver Falls, who will engage with listeners via a broadcast recorded earlier this week. Finally from 1 to 2 P.M., a special
live broadcast will be aired from The New Galilee Church of the Nazarene featuring Pastor Andy Russell. Much like the old drive in movies of years past, Russell plans on preaching from the parking lot and inviting people to pull up, park, and tune the car radio in to 1230 WBVP, 1460 WMBA or 99.3 F.M. to hear his special Palm Sunday message. All four segments will air on WBVP, WMBA, 99.3 F.M. and The Beaver County Radio Live Audio Stream.
