Kanye West is expected to provide joyful noise at Joel Osteen‘s Easter service.

On Wednesday, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that West, 42, is set to collaborate with the megachurch personality, 57, on a virtual church service broadcast this weekend.

“Yes, it’s true,” says the insider. “Things are still up in the air about logistics, but it looks like it’s going to work out. Joel asked him and he jumped at the chance.”

Adds the source: “Kanye has been wanting to do something during the quarantine and he feels like it’ll be a good way to be a blessing to other people.”

TMZ was first to report the news, adding that Carey, 50, and Tyler Perry, 50, will also be participating in the religious event.

Osteen’s non-denominational Houston megachurch regularly live-streams its services to millions of followers, and this Easter is no exception. According to the Lakewood website, there are services scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday and at 8:30 and 11 a.m. on Sunday.
