Not sure where you are, but my own parish hasn’t cancelled Divine Liturgy. We just won’t be having coffee hour afterward.

Have you checked out the websites for the parishes nearest you?

I also want to see the thing that the bishop does with the candles I forget what its called

The trikirion (3 branched candle on one stem) represents the Holy Trinity. The dikirion (2 branched candle on one stem) represents Christ Who has two natures, Divine and human, in the unity of His Divine Person (c.f. Council of Chalcedon, the Fourth Ecumenical Council).
 
It’s the blessing with the trikirion & dikirion. I explained it to him.
 
Suggestion: Their webmaster needs to seriously update their website. The last bulletin is from 2015 and it has an event from 2016.
