A Guangxi church resumed in-person service last Sunday following the reopening of some Fujian and Guangdong churches.
Having arrived at the Hepu Church in Beihai early in the morning, the attendants waited at the entrance for the believers after all preparations were made following the division of labor among themselves.
Elder Chen Kaosi, chairman of Beihai Municipal Three-self Patriotic Movement, welcomed the arrival of the churchgoers who also greeted each other at the gate of the church. After entering the sanctuary, they bowed their heads to pray in their seats.
After Pastor Shen Yuan led the congregation in singing the hymns, the long-awaited Sunday service began at 9:30 a.m. Elder Chen shared a sermon titled "A Wife of Noble Character", to commemorate the annual Women’s Day on March 8.
After the first resumed service since the outbreak of COVID-19, the church presented prepared gifts to its female believers.

继福建、广东等地部分教堂恢复线下实地聚会后，广西壮自治区北海市合浦县基督教3月7日的重新开放聚会.
上周日早晨，合浦堂服侍的同工早早来到教堂，按照分工，从里到外的做好各项预备，在教堂门口等候弟兄姊妹回来聚会。
北海市基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席陈考思长老在教堂正门迎接前来聚会的信徒，大家互致主内的问候。然后有序地进入聚会的主堂，就坐后，低头祷告。
沈媛传道带领大家会前赞美，在圣诗赞美声中大家找到久违敬拜的感觉。9点30分，在大家久违期待中正式开始主日礼拜。为纪念3月8日的妇女节，陈考思长老带领会众分享有关经文，以《才德的妇人》为题目，为主证道，和弟兄姊妹交通分享。
疫情后第一次恢复聚会结束后，合浦堂还把特别的爱送给特别的肢体：为姊妹预备的妇女节节日礼物。
