In China’s costal-southeastern Jiangsu Province, many churches in Suzhou announced the suspension all on-site gatherings from now until further notice, due to the resurgence of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Suzhou decided to close churches from Monday, following the guidelines of higher authorities. The churches include the Temple Lane Christian Church, Lion Mountain Christ Church, Apostle Church, Xiangcheng Church and Dushu Lake Church.
The churches instructed the churchgoers to participate in online services on their WeChat official accounts or QQ groups. They were also told to leave a message on the WeChat accounts or call the pastors in the churches if they needed prayer or pastoral staff’s visit.
In addition, the churches also reminded their members to resist heretical cults, not to gather in strange places and not to spread unconfirmed news or information.
