>> a million times the church is not a building we are the church together. >> easter services went forward despite fire damage at the historic church. a blue tarp covering a window while investigators searched for a possible suspect. the pastor believes the fire is creating a new narrative for the holiday. >> it felt like an invitation for our community more deeply into this story where death becomes life, things that cause destruction become things that cause unity and community. so it it was a obvious for us to gather together today, and we're so grateful that it's safe to do so in our building. i hope that i have come on, sing with us. >> across town, a standing room only crowd was on their feet celebrating easter like only glide memorial church camp, because i know that, you know, if there's going to be a resurrection, if people are going to come back to life, it's going to happen here at glide memorial church, because that is all we want to see happen. for

american organization, says pope francis called for a cease fire between israel and hamas during his traditional easter mass at the vatican francis addressed the conflicts in the middle east and europe, condemning war as an absurdity. the pope has been forced to recent events or limit his speaking due to poor health, but on this easter sunday, the most important day in the christian calendar, he delivered his full easter blessing and appeared in good spirits. well, meantime, president joe biden proclaimed today, march 31st, as transgender day of visibility. but that decision is being criticized by some republicans because today is also easter. the two days only coincided this year, by chance, former president donald trump called the move appalling and insulting. house speaker mike johnson said the biden administration had betrayed the central tenet of easter

transgender day of visibility began in 2009 as a day to celebrate transgender people and recognize the discrimination they may face. developing right now, we are learning about two people killed in a plane crash while trying to land at the truckee airport saturday. lauren and naomi petrushka are from israel and had been living in california in recent years. that is according to israeli media. flightaware shows the plane departed from an airport near denver, colorado, and power lines came crashing down, but no one on the ground was hurt. the petrushka's were tech entrepreneurs and invested in the venture capital firm up west, based in palo alto. the fund released this photo of lauren today. the couple is survived by four children. starting tomorrow, pay for fast food workers in california will go up to $20 an hour. abc's jacqueline lee explains how some business owners are now considering layoffs or closing locations to save on costs. >> some fast food workers in

do. >> two pizza hut franchises in california reportedly laid off 1200 in-house delivery drivers in preparation for the new minimum wage hike. carrie harper howie owns 21 mcdonald's and says she does not anticipate closing any locations. >> the bottom line is everyone is not going to be able to afford even the measured and carefully thought out price changes that we are going to be implementing as a necessary part of us responding to the increase . >> starbucks saying in a statement they plan to offset the minimum wage increase by changing their pricing as well as other efficiencies in their stores. mcdonald's saying they'll provide price recommendations. this law goes into effect tomorrow. there are some exceptions for bakeries and smaller fast food stores that you find inside airports and grocery stores. jacqueline lee, abc news, los angeles. >> starting tomorrow, an air on the peninsula will be closed through december. seton medical center coastside will be closed for renovations now. during that
