To provide pastoral care to believers during the Spring Festival, a Shaanxi church conducted online service every day in the first week of the 2022 Chinese calendar.
After more than one month’s suspension of in-person gatherings due to the worst outbreak of COVID-19 in Xi’an since the pandemic of Wuhan in 2020, Fufeng County Church in Baoji City held a Chinese New Year service on the day of the 2022 Spring Festival, followed by a praising meeting attended by 60 believers virtually.
Every morning from the second to the fifth day of the first lunar month, staff workers of the church took turns being the leader of online Bible study lasting for one hour.
On February 6, the church broadcast a live Sunday service, in which Elder Fan Kexiao preached a sermon titled "Christians Should Seek Holiness", urging believers to pursue holiness in eyes, thought, tongue, and their service, and to live out a holy marriage, life, and faith, citing Hebrews 12:14.
Elder Fan exhorted Christians to seek the Holy Spirit, develop self-discipline and gain blessings and victory relying on God’s word, rather than drifting with the tide.

因着省会城市西安的疫情的影响，扶风县教会已再次暂停实体聚会至今一月有余。今年春节的七天长假，教会从大年初一到初六，安排了多场多样网络线上崇拜活动。
一、大年初一的上午，由教会圣工组的全体同工参加，在网络上以音频方式举行了新春线上崇拜活动。在下午进行了一场半个多小时的音频“新春赞美会”。有60多位弟兄姊妹在网络平台中参与了歌唱赞美活动。
二、从正月初二到初五的每天上午，由教会多名同工轮流负责，先后举行了每天一个小时的网络音频读圣经分享会。
三、2022年2月6日主日这天上午，举行了网络音频主日崇拜聚会。范克孝长老围绕着《基督徒当追求圣洁》的主题，以经文（来12：14）章节为依据，证道，讲了七部分。一、追求眼目的圣洁；二、追求心思的圣洁；三、追求言语的圣洁；四、追求婚姻的圣洁；五、追求信仰的圣洁；六、追求生活的圣洁；七、追求圣工的圣洁。
范长老的这堂证道告诉我们在属灵生活当中要坚决去追求自身生命的圣洁，而不是在社会上随波逐流自生自灭。乃是一生要靠主自我约束，从神的教导中来蒙福得胜。
