2021年11月8日，大连市全员开始核酸检测。为了避免社区居民在寒风中不致挨冻，安排大家到普兰店区文化路教堂进行核酸检测。

2021年11月4日开始，辽宁大连又遭受新的一波新冠疫情，全市进入再次的核酸检测。受其影响，各教堂再次处于暂停线下聚会。

据教会负责人介绍：11月8日，普兰店下起了大雪，教会的教牧同工和服务的肢体，从早晨就来到教堂。上午9点半，开始在教堂内部进行核检场地整理、人员配备、各就各位，到中午12点半开始和社区的医护人员、警察、志愿者一起为抗击疫情做核检服务。工作一直到晚上8点结束，检测群众有3,500多人！预计11月9日还得一天才能测完。

A Liaoning church was open for nucleic acid testing to protect the community residents from the freezing temperatures.

From November 4, suffering a new wave of coronavirus pandemic, Dalian City launched a new round of COVID-19 nucleic acid tests, with all churches’ in-person gatherings suspended.

With heavy snowfall on November 8, pastoral workers and believers from Pulandian Church on Wenhua Road, Dalian, arrived at the church early. After the site arrangement and staffing in the morning, church staff engaged in the nucleic acid testing with the community medical staff, police, and volunteers at noon.

Till 8 p.m., more than 3,500 people were tested, and the tests were expected to be carried until November 9, the head of the church said.
