A church in Guangxi Province resumes all onsite gatherings in accordance with the daily pandemic prevention and control measures.
The Church in Hepu released a statement, saying that not only had the Sunday services resumed from February 25, but that other onsite activities had also restarted, such as evening prayer meetings on Wednesdays, the choir practice on Friday nights, and the youth fellowship group on Saturday nights.
Due to the re-occurrence of this wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Guangxi, the church once again suspended face-to-face gatherings from the 6th of February, in accordance with the requirements of the relevant departments. But there has always been an online service every Sunday morning.
On Sunday, February 27, according to the requirements of the church, people should wear a mask, and scan the health code (or register their relevant information) while entering the church. After they sat at a distance of one meter according to the service arrangement of church staff, they began to pray and praise.
In the morning, there was a local “Vernacular” (Cantonese) Sunday worship service, in which Pastor Li Derong preached a sermon with the title of Cherish the Present, Live in the Moment. The Mandarin Sunday service began at 8 pm, with Pastor Guan Ronglei’s sermon on Trust in the Lord With All Your Heart.
During that period, the church presented a report to the congregation on its revenue and expenditure in February.

广西一教会在做好日常疫情防控情况下，恢复所有实体聚会崇拜。
广西壮族自治区北海市合浦县基督教会发布消息，2月25日起，不仅恢复了主日的实地聚会，而且礼拜三晚上祷告会、礼拜五晚间诗班的练唱、礼拜六晚间的青年团契聚会也同时恢复线下活动。
因着此轮广西新冠肺炎疫情的再次发生，按照上级有关部门防控疫情要求，从2022年2月6日的主日开始，合浦堂再次暂停线下实地聚会。但每个主日早上一直举行线上礼拜。
2022年2月27日礼拜日，按照教堂参加聚会要求，戴口罩、扫健康码（或登记）入堂保持一米线距离，按照服务的同工安排间隔就坐，祷告、赞美。
上午是广西当地的“白话”（粤语）主日崇拜，李德荣教士以《珍惜眼前、活在当下》为题，为主证道；晚场8点开始是国语（普通话）主日崇拜，关荣雷教士以《要专心仰赖耶和华》为题，为主证道。
期间，教会向会众做了合浦堂的2月收支的堂务报告。
