MIAMI – Churches and parishioners in South Florida plan to continue to adapt to the risks of the coronavirus pandemic while celebrating this Christmas.
The pews at the historic Friendship Missionary Baptist Church at 740 NW 58th St, in Miami’s Liberty City, were empty on Tuesday and will remain that way this week.
Rev. Gaston E. Smith said he is doing what he can to make sure the church’s services don’t become super-spreaders in the community during the pandemic.
“We just thought it would be safe for people to spend time with their families . The church is not in the building, but the church is in us,” Smith said, adding he is live streaming services online.
