On the evening of Good Friday, the Truth Church in Yangxin County, Hubei Province, held a candlelight Communion service.
In the middle of the sanctuary, on a giant cross made of tables and covered with pure white cloth were two rows of burning wax candles placed parallel to each other. The cross, decorated with candlelight, glowed in the hall and believers sat around it.
There were three steps in the worship session. In the first step, five pastors or deacons from the church shared the seven last words of Christ on the cross.
The second step was the communion service, in which baptized believers came to the holy table and received the bread and the cup from the hands of the two elders. This was the first communion service after the church reopened on March 20.
The third step was to wash the feet. First, the pastoral staff read out the scriptures about the Lord Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. Then, all the staff of the church washed the feet of every believer and catechumen. Later, the staff washed each other's feet.

受难日晚，湖北省阳新县基督教真理堂举行了烛光圣餐与感恩礼拜。
会场中间，有一个用桌子拼成的巨型十字架，并以洁白的布匹覆盖，在拼成的十架上平行摆放着两行燃烧的腊烛；烛光够成的十字架闪闪发光，照亮着会场。与会信徒围绕十架而坐。
礼拜分为三大步骤。第一步，由真理堂的五位教牧或执事同工分别分享了主耶稣的“十架七言”。
第二步是圣餐礼拜，已受洗的信徒有序地来到圣餐桌前，分别从两位长老的手中接过饼和杯，这次圣餐也是该堂三月二十日复堂后的第一次圣餐礼拜。
第三步是洗脚礼。首先，由教牧同工宣读主耶稣给门徒洗脚的经文。接着，由教会全体同工分别给每一个与会信徒和慕道友洗脚；然后，同工之间分别相互洗脚。
