Churches in America are turning to drone shows, skydiving bunnies and helicopter egg drops to celebrate Easter this year.
Last Saturday, Compass Church in Salinas, California, held a "Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop" with a skydiving bunny.
"Compass Church presents The Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop," an announcement on the church’s website read. "The sky diving bunny returns this year with double the excitement!"

On Good Friday, a coalition of churches in Tennessee held an Easter drone show and fireworks.
"Hundreds of drones will illuminate the night sky in a breathtaking display, synchronized to a powerful narration broadcast on Grace 107.7," an announcement on the website for The River Community Church in Cookeville, Tennessee, read. "Through light and sound, the story of Jesus will come to life—celebrating hope, resurrection, and new life."
It added, "If you can see the big white cross next to I-40, you’ll have a great view as the drones soar 200 feet above it. The evening will conclude with a stunning fireworks finale over Prayer Mountain, making for a powerful ending to this unforgettable experience."
In a video announcement on Facebook about the event, the lead pastor of the church, Steve Tiebout, said over 20 churches in the area are involved to bring the event together.

"Bring people that never go to church. This will be something they’ll want to see, and then you can have those conversations afterward to share with them what Christ has done in your life," Tiebout said in the video announcement.
Fox News Digital reached out to Compass Church, Cultivate Church, and The River Community Church for comment.
At a time when America is wrestling with declining church attendance, a recent Barna Group study suggests that attendance has increased among Gen Z and Millennial men, showing signs of a return to church that surpasses older generations. Gen Z and Millennials' attendance has seen a resurgence in general, according to conservative Gen Z influencer Bo Loudon.
"This is the result of a generation that's had a lot of stuff going on. You know, we had to go through Covid, we've had a bunch of wars, and you know, not so great presidencies. But we're in a great presidency now, and we have a great president that's made it very open for us to talk about God and speak about our faith," Loudon told Fox & Friends recently.
