On Sunday, July 19, rain began in the early morning hours in Dalian, China''s northeastern Liaoning Province, accompanied by gusts of wind.
Dalian Fengshou Road Church resumed their Sunday gatherings on this day. In the rain, the co-workers served the worshippers. They still scanned health codes, took temperatures, and registered people as they entered the church. Ushers seated the people who then began to sing praises, read the Bible, and pray under the leadership of the choir.
At 9:30, after praise and worship, Pastor An Li went up to the altar and led the congregation in reading John 12 and then gave a three-point sermon which was entitled, “We Want to Meet Jesus”.
The church also delivered the good news that beginning July 20, the church would resume in-person gatherings on Wednesday and Saturday in addition to three gatherings on Sunday. These would be all held online simultaneously. Other online gatherings such as Morning Prayer would continue unchanged.
Two sisters talked as they walked along: “It is good that we can come to the church three times a week for gatherings.”

2020年7月19日礼拜日,大连在大雨到暴雨的气象预报中从凌晨一直开始下雨,并伴随着阵风。
这是大连丰收路教堂刚刚恢复的主日。教堂的教牧同工依然在雨中为信徒服务、信徒们依然按照扫码、测体温、登记信息等程序安静的进入主堂、依然按照服侍人员安排坐好、依然在诗班带领下赞美、读经、祷告。
上午九点三十分,在圣乐和圣诗中,李安牧师登上圣台,带领会众诵读新约圣经约翰福音12章的经文,以《我们愿意见到耶稣》为题,分三个方面为主证道。
教会传达了一个令人喜乐的好消息:从7月20日起,教会除礼拜天主日聚会三场礼拜聚会外,恢复周三和周六的礼拜聚会,而且是实地聚会和网络线上聚会同步进行。其它的如晨祷聚会等网络聚会不停、不变。
两位老姊妹边走边聊:“这回好了,我们一个礼拜可以三次到教堂来聚会了! ”
