While on December 22, Wuxi Church in Jiangsu announced that worship services would be hosted virtually at Christmas without any in-person celebrations, as it still suspended onsite gatherings due to COVID-19, according to the church.
On the same day, Chendai Church in Jinjiang, Fujian, released a schedule on its official WeChat account, saying that a Christmas gospel rally, a Sunday service, and a praise meeting would all be conducted on December 25 and 26.
The next day, Chongyi Church in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, announced its resumption of in-person gatherings due to the de-escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the number of worshippers limited to no more than 500.
