Try This: Visit Nursing Homes and Prisons During Easter

Send teams out to offer Easter celebration services at locations in your area with people who may not be able to make it to church—nursing homes and prisons. Ask permission first, and provide a service complete with music, communion and a Scripture-based message. If a local church already has a prison ministry, partner with it for an enhanced service.
