成都光音堂组织教牧同工开展复堂前消防演练
5月底，四川省进入常态化疫情防控，各地宗教场所相继有序开放。成都基督教光音堂更是将各项安全防控工作提上重要日程，在认真制定和落实各项疫情防控工作的同时，消防安全也同步列入复堂前的防控计划中。
2020年6月10日下午3点，光音堂以国际社区物业开展消防演练的契机，积极主动提出申请，将教堂作为演练场地，光音堂全体教牧同工均出席活动，聆听消防专业人士对消防知识的讲解，观摩并参与了本次消防演练。
此次演习通过对突发性火灾的应急处理、消防物资的使用说明讲解、对灭火器材的讲解和实践操作的方式进行。从牧师到传道，再到每一位行政后勤同工，大家都纷纷亲自上场，了解每一样消防器材的使用方法，亲自尝试使用灭火器对燃烧物体进行现场灭火。
通过实地操作、体验和演练，增强了大家的安全意识，增长了消防的知识和实操能力，使培训达到理论与实际相结合的效果，进一步提高了广大教牧同工的消防安全意识和应对火灾的处置能力，为教堂的消防安全提供了有效保障。
