<p>Online Easter is about to be lit. This weekend is Easter, and typically, people would have already purchased their Sunday Best in order to show off their faith-filled &#8216;fits at church. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused countries worldwide to clamp down on social interactions and gatherings, so church services have been canceled.<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/john-legend-advises-to-stay-home-from-church-do-not-let-these-pastors-kill-your-auntie-news.108074.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> There are a select few dissidents </a>who are still calling for their congregants to meet together face-to-face, but authorities guarantee that anyone out and about during this pandemic will be cited or arrested.</p>

<p>Joel Osteen and his Lakewood Church crew are bringing a virtual Easter service to the public. Osteen is one of the most popular megachurch pastors in the world whose global audience reaches upwards of 10 million people.<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-and-joel-osteen-will-reunite-at-pastors-yankee-stadium-event-report-news.97443.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> Viewers tune in to watch Osteen&#8217;s services</a> on television and online, but he reached a new audience after his good friend Kanye West hosted a Sunday Service musical event at Lakewood Church. The pair of famous figures were set to reunite for Osteen&#8217;s big Yankee Stadium event in May, but things have obviously been sidelined for the time being.</p>
<p>In the meantime, <em>TMZ</em> reports that Osteen&#8217;s online Easter service will reportedly feature Kanye, Tyler Perry, and Mariah Carey who will &#8220;deliver messages of love and support to his massive audience.&#8221; <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-breaks-records-with-joel-osteen-sunday-service-appearance-news.96058.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The publication states that Mariah Carey</a> will perform some sort of tribute, rumored to be her song &#8220;Hero,&#8221; to thank healthcare workers for their tireless work. Tyler Perry will deliver uplifting words of encouragement, and Kanye West reportedly will return with his Sunday Service social distancing choir. It&#8217;s unclear if this will be live or pre-recorded, but we&#8217;re viewers won&#8217;t care much either way.</p>
