On April 11, a church in Liaoyuan, Jilin Province, held a thanksgiving service including offertory conducted every year around Easter.
Arriving at the church early on Sunday morning, believers from Nanzhan Church in Dongfeng County were seated according to the requirements of the attendants, wearing masks.
The service began at 8:00 in the morning. After the praise of the choir and the congregation for half an hour, Senior Pastor Liu Xuesong gave a sermon. Later, he led the pastoral staff, the choir, and the congregation in bringing their offerings of gratitude to God.
Besides young and hobbling old believers, others with mobility difficulties moved to the offering box, putting their tithes and offerings inside.
