Maryville Baptist Church members celebrated Easter Sunday in-person, exercising their First Amendment rights despite the state’s Healthy at Home order.
It is estimated that 50 people attended the services.

It is reported that piles of nails were blocking the parking lot entrances. It is currently unclear who placed the nails on the road with the intention of popping vehicle tires.
Once the congregants were finally able to get into the church parking lot, a heavy police presence met them there.
While the police did not issue tickets or arrest church members, they began recording the license plates of every vehicle in the parking lot.
