Renowned pastor and televangelist Joel Osteen is not letting the COVID-19 calamity impact his upcoming Easter Sunday service, and by the sound of what heโ€™s reportedly planning to do, it looks like this will be a big event.

Per TMZ, Osteenโ€™s Lakewood Church in Houston will host a virtual version of Kanye Westโ€™s Sunday Service, complete with special guests broadcasting from their homes as we continue to practice social distancing nationwide. The illustrious Mariah Carey will reportedly sing โ€œHeroโ€ live via a webcam, while Tyler Perry plans to โ€œdeliver words of encouragementโ€ and Kanyeโ€™s Sunday Service Choir will be delivering the gospel truth. The site says that the performance will be dedicated to โ€œmedical professionals and first responders putting their lives on the line in the battle against COVID-19.โ€

Osteen and West have collaborated in the past (kind of). Last year, West crashed a service at the Lakewood megachurch to let us know how heโ€™s been delivert thanks to Godโ€™s glory, and of course, he bragged about how amazing itโ€™s been for him.

โ€œI told you about my arrogance and cockiness already,โ€ he said. โ€œNow the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for him.โ€

The duo was supposed to join together for Osteenโ€™s โ€œNight Of Hopeโ€ service, which was slated to be held at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx in May. However, itโ€™s unclear if thatโ€™s happening now, given all thatโ€™s occurring in the world.

A self-proclaimed born-again Christian, West dropped the earsore Jesus Is King in October 2019 and orchestrated the Sunday Service Choirโ€™s collection of Christmas-ready, Kanye-tinged renditions of pop and gospel songs for their project, Jesus Is Born. The latter was far superior. โ€˜Ye and the SSC performed last Easter Sunday at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. This yearโ€™s Coachella event was postponed to October due to the coronavirus outbreak.
