? Parishioners celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ at the Friendly Baptist Church in Highbridge on Easter Sunday.
Hundreds of churchgoers filled the pews. Pastor Albert Sutton says attendance is usually not that large, but he welcomes everyone. Worshipper James McCloud says he used to come to church to show off his clothes, but now he understands why praising God is important.
Easter Sunday is believed to be the holiest day on the Christian calendar.
