Church holds services after temp order halted

LAWRENCE, KS - Kansas Governor Laura Kelly's executive order banning mass gatherings in churches was overruled by a Federal judge on Saturday, granting a temporary restraining order.

This applies for only two churches in rural Kansas, First Baptist Church in Dodge City and Calvary Baptist Church in Junction City.

However, on a rainy Sunday morning, worship went on as usual inside Heritage Baptist Church in Lawrence amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Several members filed in one after another, while a Douglas County sheriffs deputy circled the building until the service ended.
