Here's How We're Adapting in Crittenden County


Austin Weist, a young pastor at Seven Springs Church in rural Crittenden County, is like many other ministers, he's trying to find new ways to reach his congregation and others.

Seven Springs Church hosted a drive-in style service last Sunday and more than 20 cars, with people in them of course, came to worship. Some were visitors who'd heard about the novel idea.

"I thought that was pretty neat," the pastor said.

The pastor says he has some new ideas for this coming Sunday.
