To remember the deceased believers and mark the Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day), a church in the eastern coastal Jiangsu Province held a virtual memorial service and a tomb sweeping activity.

Three pastors in Changzhou Church on April 1 recorded three sermons, with the titles of "He's Not Here", "Do You Believe These Words?", and "Imitate Ancestors-Good Examples to Follow", which were to be uploaded on the official WeChat account on Qingming Festival which fell on April 5, according to the church.

That afternoon, on behalf of the church members, Director Li Jiangyue led several church staff to the church cemetery in Jiaoxi Town, conducting a collective tomb-sweeping activity for the deceased church members.
