Last Sunday, Lvhua Street Church in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, held baptism services for 31 converts.

Upon arriving at the church at 6 a.m., attendants devoted themselves to welcoming believers, following COVID-19 protocols, which includes scanning, registering churchgoers, checking their health codes and temperatures. Wearing masks, church members were seated in the sanctuary at intervals per the required social distancing from the first to the fourth floor.

After saying “Peace in the Lord”, Rev. Yuan Ming, president of Anshan Municipal CC&TSPM, led them in praying and reading the Bible. Based on Matthew 28:18-20 and Romans 6:3-8, she gave a sermon titled Baptized into the Lord.

After the sermon, the holy baptism began with songs of praise from the choir. Pastor Yuan, dressed in a holy robe, baptized 31 seekers (27 in the morning and 4 in the evening) in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, followed by the Communion service.
