A church in the eastern coastal Jiangsu Province in China conducted one more service on Sunday after its resumption due to its reinforcement and repair work.
According to its official WeChat account, Mochou Lu Church in Nanjing said it would carry out five-month reinforcement and repair work of its main building starting from May 7th, changing to hold services in other four rooms. The church added that one more Sunday service would be hosted as the space of worship narrowed. Previously, it hosted two Saturday services and two Monday services.
It once announced the resumption of in-person Saturday and Sunday services at 9:22 am on April 30 after its one-and-a-half month suspension due to new cases of COVID-19. That day happened to be Saturday when the church restarted its first Saturday service at 10:00 which was originally held at 9:00 just when it received approval from the higher authority.
Pastors reminded young believers to come to worship on Saturday evening or attend the second and third services on Sunday, which had fewer worshippers, arranging the senior believers on the first floor to worship God. Christians who have visited, lived, or worked in other cities are advised to stay at home to help with the prevention and control of the epidemic.

江苏南京一教堂因开展加固修缮的工作，因礼拜场地空间缩小，复堂后主日早上多增加一堂礼拜。
南京市莫愁路堂自3月13之后按照防疫要求实施双暂停，4月30日起恢复聚会。自5月7日起主堂开始为期五个月的加固修缮，（==此句当summary）礼拜转移到院内一楼的慕道班室、副堂的三楼314房间及四楼的大厅和东厅。原来周六周日各两场，自5月8日起，主日上午增加一场礼拜，分别为8点和10点开始。周六礼拜时间不变。
莫愁路堂公众号4月30日星期六上午发布通知，称通过了有关部门的防疫检测，自当周起莫愁路堂恢复正常聚会。莫愁路堂周六上午常规礼拜时间是上午9点到10点，因9点22分才发布通知，当周周六上午礼拜调整到上午10点开始。
牧长建议长辈弟兄姐妹为便捷出入而就近在一楼慕道班就座，年轻的弟兄姐妹可从楼梯或电梯到达副堂的三楼或四楼对号就座礼拜。由于上午的聚会人多，建议年轻人多选周六晚场和主日第二场和下午场来堂参加礼拜。暂无法接待近期在外市生活、工作及有外地旅居史的弟兄姊妹，敬请谅解！
