Kim and husband Kanye West started their 'Sunday Service' in January 2019. The event is popularized through an unofficial Instagram account, which also features performances by Kanye. The clips show him rapping the gospel version of many of his songs, backed up by the choir. For the uninitiated, the rapper had expressed his interest in started a church of his own quite some time back. He had stated in an episode of 'KUWTK' from February 2019, "I had the idea of making a church before, but I really was sketching it out — and then 2019, I was like, I'm not letting a Sunday go by without making this", reports Insider. 

Meanwhile, Kim had said that their Sunday routine was started for Kanye's "close friends and family." She said, "It's just really about the music and about healing." The singer has reportedly performed songs including 'Jesus Walks', 'Ultralight Beam', 'Reborn'/ 'Violent Crimes' and 'I Wonder'. Kanye has also served as the producer or conductor on their 'Sunday Service'.

Rumors are rife that Kanye has been performing unreleased songs from his forthcoming album 'Yandhi' at the Sunday event. Speculations also suggest that the Sunday event has partnered with Adidas, as Kim has used the brand's hashtags in her tweets related to 'Sunday Service'. According to reports, the majority of the services have taken place at the Adidas North American headquarters in Portland. 

Members of the Kardashian clan are among the regular attendees, while the event has also been graced by other celebrities including David Letterman, Katy Perry, and Courtney Love. Their eldest child North is seen dancing to several of her father's performances from the event. 

While Kim seems excited about 'Sunday Service' returning, if that's what her tweet was hinting at, fans on Twitter have expressed mixed views, especially because of the ongoing global health crisis. One Twitter user asked, "During a pandemic? Kim, there’s people that are dying." Another added, "Better not be Sunday service... large gatherings aren’t very responsible"

Many fans have noted that the 'Sunday Service' could help Kanye feel better, after his recent experience with public meltdowns and twitter rants. One Twitter user wrote, "Yup and that medicine is Sunday Service". Another tweeted, "I love Kanye but he has to get help for his condition, ongoing treatment, no more ignoring the problem."

A few of them  thrilled about the 'Sunday Service' have noted that they'll watch the event virtually. "Are y'all going to be streaming again? I love watching because @kanyewest is so happy when he is having church!" read a tweet.
