On July 5, 2020, Dalian Fengshou Lu Church resumed three onsite Sunday services after months' closure due to COVID-19.
Outside the main hall of the church, the co-workers in charge checked temperatures, ID cards, and health codes of the churchgoers. Then the believers’ information was filled in the registration form.
Believers attending the meeting actively cooperated with the church’s service staff, held the cards which show seat number, and in turn entered the main hall. They followed social distancing regulations, not shaking hands or talking with each other.
The pastoral staff and service staff toiled at the work. They came to the church shortly after six o'clock in the morning, and they took their positions according to their assigned duties.
It was the first Sunday service gathering after the church was reopened. The sanctuary on the first floor of the main hall was almost filled with worshippers.
Based on Genesis chapter 12, Pastor Liu Kunzhong from Dalian Lily Church gave the sermon. He said that we must accurately predict the environment, think of ourselves, and then look to God as we make decisions. With God’s help, we will lack nothing.
After the sermon, under the direction of Pastor Liu Kunzhong, five brothers and sisters went to the stage to listen to God's Word, accepted God's call, and became Christians.
After the service, the church staff began to disinfect the stage, seats, and corridors. Later the service workers began to clear up the main sanctuary.
On the same day, Dalian Jinzhou Church and Quanshui Church also resumed their gatherings. In the next Sunday worship service, churches in districts such as Dalian Xishan Gospel Church, Lily Church, and other churches in county-level cities will also be reopened.

大连丰收路教堂喜迎复堂敬拜聚会
2020年7月5日礼拜日，大连丰收路教会开放三场实地聚会。
在教堂主堂外面，负责的同工按照测试体温、察验身份证、出示健康码、出示行程卡、填表登记等程序严格把关；参加聚会的信徒积极配合教会的服侍同工指挥，依次持卡进入教堂主堂，并按规定遵守保持距离、不握手、不聚堆交流。
丰收堂的教牧同工和服侍人员很辛苦：他们早晨六点多钟就来到教堂，按照分工各就各位，接待前来参加聚会的信徒。
q大连市百合基督教堂刘坤忠牧师以旧约创世记第12章为中心，向信徒传讲面对环境要有准确地预判，思想我们自己，面对各样的选择仰望神，神会帮助我们，必不会缺乏什么。
证道结束后，在刘坤忠牧师的主持下，有五位弟兄姊妹走向台前，聆听神的话语，接受神的呼召，成为基督徒。
聚会结束后，教会的工作人员开始对台上台下、座椅、走廊等进行全面的消杀，服侍的同工开始整理主堂。
据了解：今天，大连金州堂、泉水堂也开放复会。下个礼拜主日崇拜，将有大连西山福音堂、百合堂等各区、县级市等教堂陆续恢复聚会。
