Thousands of churches are planning to hold services this Pentecost Sunday, an important Christian holy day held 50 days after Easter.

Religious services are no longer restricted in more than half of states, but some churches that reopened have been forced to shut their doors, again, because of new outbreaks. Among those is First Baptist Church in the town of North in South Carolina, about 30 miles outside Columbia.
