A Liaoning church was renovated during the temporary period of closure in August.
During the “double suspension” in August, which refers to suspending the opening of places of worship and religious activities, the leaders of Xifo Church in Tai’an County, China's northeastern Liaoning Province, decided to make use of this opportunity to do maintenance on the whole church building.
The renovation involved the painting of the floor of the church’s small square and of the exterior which presents a Gothic architectural style, the maintenance of the sanctuary and office area, the roof replacement of the sanctuary and auxiliary hall, the ground laying of the courtyard, and the maintenance and painting of the fence.
When the renovation was completed, the pandemic situation in Liaoning had just been brought under control, with activities in religious sites resumed. The church would hold the upcoming in-person gatherings with a new image.
Approved to be established on July 12, 2001, Xifo Church in Tai'an County, Liaoning Province was originally a place for family activities. The church covers an area of 1,125 square meters (0.27 acres) with a floor area of 485 square meters (0.11 acres).

2021年8月份因着疫情，辽宁各地教堂处于暂时“双暂停”，聚会暂停，事工不停。西佛教会经过研究，决定利用好这一“退修”、暂停聚会的好机会，对教堂内外进行维修和维护。
包括从教堂小广场的地面、教堂外部的粉刷，到教堂主堂和办公区域的维修，从主堂到副堂的屋顶更换、从院内地面铺设到教堂大门、栅栏的维护、油漆等
西佛教会对教堂的维修、维护，顺利竣工之时，恰好辽宁各地的疫情也宣告可控、恢复宗教场所的活动，教会将以一个新的形象来迎接即将开始的线下实地聚会。
