Los Altos church copes with COVID Christmas, celebrates member’s recovery
Robin Chapman/Special to the Town Crier
Longtime Los Altos resident Richard Abbott, 98, a deacon at Union Presbyterian Church, spent Halloween in the hospital with COVID-19. Seen here at the house he bought new in Los Altos in the 1950s, Abbott has since made a full recovery and is getting ready to celebrate a joyous Christmas.
Union Presbyterian Church has a history that goes back so far in Los Altos, the church was around during the last flu pandemic in 1918. The current public health crisis has been considerably more disruptive and has required unprecedented adjustments during Christmas. Yet this historical church – like all local houses of worship – has found ways to cope and things to celebrate.
