In Las Vegas, where casinos have been allowed to operate at 50 percent capacity while houses of worship are subject to a limit of 50 parishioners, one group has innovated to hold services within a casino.
Ralph Reed, an evangelical Christian leader, lobbyist, and author who was the executive director of the Christian Coalition in the 1990s, posted a clip of the praise service on Twitter. The event was political in nature as well, called Evangelicals for Trump: Praise, Prayer and Patriotism.
While a Christian worship group plays, church goers can be seen embracing and enjoying the music. The Trump campaign rented the venue, according to Fox News, and it was held at the Ahern Hotel and Convention Center
A recent church service was held in a Pennsylvania Walmart.
Among those speaking at the Las Vegas were Pastor Paula White, who is Trump’s spiritual adviser, Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, and Pastor Jentezen Franklin, Charlie Kirk, and others.
Trump’s 202o deputy press secretary Ken Farnaso said that “In a time when many Nevadans can’t go to church because of overreaching restrictions, President Trump’s campaign is bringing together evangelicals from across the community to pray, worship and discuss key issues facing Americans in the November election.”
Courtney Holland, of Human Events, posted about the worship service as well.
