Most churches in Dalian and Anshan, in China’s northeastern Liaoning Province, have resumed services.
With the central Yuguang Street Church in Dalian resuming Sunday services, all the main churches in Dalian, such as Fengshou Road Church, Xishan Gospel Church, Jinzhou Church, Quanshui Church, Beijing Street Church, Pulan Shop Church, PLA (People’s Liberation Army) Road Church and have resumed in-person gatherings.
The resumption of all the gatherings in Lvhua Street church where the Anshan Municipal CC&TSPM (Christian Council & Three-Self Patriotic Movement) offices are located indicates that all the churches in this city have restored normal activities. Xingsheng Church, Shahe Church, Yongle Church and others will resume their gatherings.
Some churches resumed all the gatherings which are held from Monday to Sunday, such as Bible study group, prayer meeting, morning service with prayers, 24-hour watch prayers and choir practices. On Sunday, Dalian churches have three in-person services and Anshan churches have two. Yongle Korean Church continues to have services in Korean. Meanwhile, all the churches have kept their online gatherings, together with the in-person service so they can provide pastoral services for their believers.
Judging from the current church gatherings, the believers are enthusiastic when they get together. Some believers who are in churches that have not resumed services are attending other churches, and the number of people attending gatherings is increasing. Some church services are at capacity.
Some pastors said that they were waiting for the resumption of gatherings in the county-level and rural churches in Dalian and Anshan.

大连、鞍山大部分教堂已恢复聚会
辽宁的大连、鞍山两市大部分教堂已经复会，而且有的已经全面复会聚会。
随着大连百年的玉光街教堂将于9月13（礼拜日）恢复主日崇拜的好消息传来，大连地区主要的各教堂，如丰收路教会、西山福音堂、金州教会、泉水教会、北京街教堂、普兰店教会、解放路教堂等已全面恢复实地聚会。
鞍山在市两会所在的绿化街教堂全面复会以后，标志着全市的各教堂已经恢复正常的信仰活动。兴盛教会、沙河教会、永乐教会等陆续全面复会。
大连、鞍山这次恢复聚会，包括一些教堂从礼拜一到礼拜日都有聚会，比如查经聚会、祷告聚会、晨更祷告、24小时守望祷告、诗班聚会等。从场次来看，大连的教会一般是主日三场实地聚会，鞍山是主日两场聚会，永乐朝鲜族教会则是继续保留朝鲜族语的证道。与此同时，各地教会还继续有网络聚会，实地和网络牧养两条线并举。
从各教堂聚会的反馈情况来看，聚会的热情很高，一些尚未复会的信徒也转向复会的教堂，参加聚会的人数也在呈增长趋势，有的教堂聚会甚至达到了“爆满”的火热程度。
一些牧者表示：他们在等候通知，随着市区主要教堂的复会，大连、鞍山县区和乡镇的基层教会也即将恢复聚会。
