Evangelist Franklin Graham will offer a special Easter morning service from an emergency field hospital in the middle of New York City’s Central Park — a facility donated to the coronavirus relief effort by Samaritan’s Purse, a nonprofit charity long associated with the pastor’s faith outreach.
“Because our nation and the world are in crisis, I want to share a message of the unshakable hope found only in Jesus Christ this Sunday,” Mr. Graham said.
It is a time of “fear, anxiety and uncertainty” he noted.
His message will be aired Sunday on Fox News, a feature of “America Together: Keeping the Faith” — the network’s extensive live Easter programming that begins Friday and continues online and via cable broadcast through Sunday night.
“From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Sandra Smith will anchor a two-hour block featuring live reports from FNC correspondents and segments with priests, pastors and rabbis on site at Easter and Passover celebrations around the globe, including Franklin Graham’s 20-minute Easter message,” the network advised.
“In primetime, Fox News will feature Fox Nation’s ’Battle in the Holy Land,’ hosted by Pete Hegseth from 10-11 p.m. He returns to Israel and the Palestinian territories, providing viewers with firsthand insight into the fight over the disputed area known as the West Bank,” Fox News said.
FoxNews.com will also livestream services from St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, St, Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, among other churches beginning Friday.
