At the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas in Overbrook Park, congregants received Communion on Sunday, March 15, 2020, without getting out of their cars. The drive-through service was in response to heath officials’ recommendations to practice social distancing and to avoid large crowds during the coronavirus outbreak.
