Due to the de-escalation of COVID-19, a Shaanxi church reopened and a Liaoning church hosted a Sunday service on the same day.
On February 20, Shilipu Church in Baoji, Shaanxi, hosted the first Sunday service since the 2022 Spring Festival, which is also when the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympic took place in Beijing. The capital city of Xi’an gradually lifted restrictions before the Chinese New Year, so the non-local employees and students in colleges and universities could be reunited back home with their families.
During the service, Elder Pang Xianhua preached a sermon titled "Be a Person of Spiritual Goodness", citing Romans 12:1-2 and Philippians 4:8-9. He said when Christians face certain problems, they need to return to God's word in the Bible, which gives the answers they need. He exhorted them to seek the will of God for their lives and develop good character, as God had sent His son to save them, and they should present their bodies to Him as a living sacrifice.
Churchgoers also worshipped God last Sunday in Ertaizi Church, Anshan, Liaoning. The church chartered a bus for believers to gather in the relatively remote area.
Appointed by Anshan CC&TSPM, Rev. Gao Zheng, the leader of Guoziyuan Church in Anshan City, shared a sermon with the title of "Warning Yourself Through the Wicked", after reading Jude 1:11. The pastor encouraged the attendees to watch their ways and not commit sins according to their sinful nature, analyzing three bad people of Cain, Balaam, and Korah in the Old Testament period
Compared with September 2021, the number of worshippers has increased by about 30%, and more choir members participated in the service.

一是春节前西安解封，让因疫情滞留省会城市的外地人员、还有大专院校学子们欢欢喜喜回家过大年；三是在2月20日这天伴随着第二十四届冬奥会在北京圆满落下帷幕，同一天宝鸡十里铺教会举行了新春以来首场实体主日崇拜聚会。
逄先华长老依据圣经（罗12：1-2；腓4：8-9）章节经文，围绕主题《做有属灵美好品格的人》。一、要回到神的话语里。在我们面对社会中的一些问题的时候，需要通过读圣经回到神的话语当中。祂可以给我们所需要的答案。
二、要思想神的旨意。祂已赐下爱子，使我们可以得着新的生命，所以，我们应当喜悦地将自己当作活祭献给祂。在每一天的生活中要好好思想神的旨意。三、要思想美好的见证和品格。
2022年2月20日主日在辽宁省鞍山市二台子基督教会举行主日崇拜。因为教会地理位置比较偏远，教会为了方便信徒聚会，特意包了一辆大巴车往返接送。
按照市两会的统一安排，鞍山市果子园教会的负责人高峥牧师为主证道。带领大家读完犹大书1章11节的经文，高牧师以《通过有祸的人警戒自己》为讲章中心思想，分为三个题目，剖析了旧约时代的该隐、巴兰、可拉这三个有祸的人，并劝勉众弟兄姊妹引以为戒，儆醒自己不要随从自己的情欲而犯罪。
今天的聚会，与2021年9月份相比，聚会的人数增加了约有百分之三十左右，参与诗班赞美的同工也增加了
