As we go into this very special Easter weekend, we are grateful to all of the ministries across the Country continuing to provide for the needs of the American people.

Finally let me say as we go into this very special weekend and to Easter services. I know I speak on behalf of the President when I say how grateful we are to all the churches who have been there and their ministries have working been under great difficulty and continue to provide for the needs of your members.

There have been food drives, there have been phone calls and ministry has continued we are grateful for the role on this holy week that our churches, our synagogues, and all of our houses of worship have played.

On their behalf allow me to remind you that even if you are not in the pew this Easter Sunday if you are not able, it’s still a good idea to continue to give because those ministries continue to go forward and we encourage you to continue to support them.
