Some churches take COVID precautions for Christmas services

TRUSSVILLE, Alabama (WBRC) – Inside the Ministry of Eternal Hope in Trussville, Pastor Derrick Jordan hopes to spread the true meaning of Christmas this weekend while keeping the congregation safe.

“That’s it, Christmas. We received the greatest gift ever. He is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we can also be considerate of others and give them a gift. This is really what it is, ”Jordan said.

The spread of the Omicron variant is something Jordan hopes to avoid.

“We are coming back to mandatory masks and / or face coverings for everyone. There will be no exceptions and to make sure that happens we will be providing masks to everyone who comes into the service, ”Jordan said.

Disinfection stations will also be set up. The church recently held a vaccination clinic and educated the congregation on the vaccine.

2021 has been a difficult year for so many who have lost it to COVID or lost their jobs. Jordan has this message for the community.

“The scriptures teach us that now faith is the substance of things that we hope for, but it is proof of what we cannot see and it takes great faith to see the other side even when it does. doesn’t seem to be visible so it’s going to take great faith to get through that and Mary has great faith and of course she produced a great God. This is what we want to share, ”Jordan said.

The HEM will hold its office at 10:30 am Sunday morning. The church is not holding a service on Christmas Eve because Pastor Jordan says they want to reduce exposure to COVID-19 as much as possible.
