SALT LAKE CITY As the pandemic stretches into its ninth month in Utah, creating a cloud over a typically joyous holiday season, several area Christian churches are hoping to celebrate and still highlight Christlike love amid altered plans.
Here s a look into how a few local congregations in the area plan to celebrate Christmas this year.
Calvary Baptist Church
In a typical year, the Calvary Baptist Church in Salt Lake City would host a Christmas musical or something of that nature, according to The Rev. Oscar Moses.
But, 2020 is no typical year.
Instead of hosting a large in-person celebration, the church is pivoting to focus on serving the community. A Christmas Day worship service will also be held.
