On Sunday, May 10, the Baoji Dawn Church held an online gathering in celebration of Mother’s Day.
The host, Sister Bai Xue, greeted everyone with "Dear father, aunt, brothers and sisters, be safe on Sunday and happy Mother's Day!" She continued: “Today is the Lord's Day and also Mother's Day. God loves us and never gives us up. A mother’s love is from God. Maternal love is an example of self-denial; each of us should think about and cherish the responsibility of mothers and the depth of love they give. We wish Christ’s peace, joy and blessing to all mothers!”
Next, Sister Bai invited everyone to stand up. Everyone sang the praise poem Mom, I Have learned to Rely on God. A sister sang alone, "God's love is love that never leaves us. Mother's love is from God. When I am lonely and in trouble, God always holds me in his arms. Mother you are willing to give up everything for me. How much my mother worries, how many tears she has shed ... The child has grown up and has become mature. The child has grown up and wants to make you proud. Sincere best wishes to you, my dear mother!"
Sister Yi, the director of the Shuguang Church choir, wrote the lyrics and music of this hymn many years ago.
Next, Elder Yi Lianmei preached a sermon based on Isaiah 49: 14-16, on the theme of "Maternal Love and Divine Love." She shared that maternal love is pure, strong and sacrificial. God's love is unconditional love of redemption; God is love. Maternal love is great, but the love of God is higher than maternal love and is the source of all love!

宝鸡市曙光教会举办母亲节网络音频聚会
2020年5月10日主日，也是全世界一年一度的重要国际性的节日——母亲节。
宝鸡曙光教会的网络平台举办了母亲节网络音频聚会。
主持人白雪姊妹一声问候“亲爱的父老、大娘，弟兄姊妹主日平安、母亲节快乐！”她说：今天是主日，也是母亲节。上帝的爱是不离不弃的爱，母亲的爱是从上帝而来的爱，母爱是奋不顾身的舍己，让我们每一个人都能够珍惜体会思想母爱的伟大与沉重，也祝愿所有的母亲在基督里得享平安喜乐、福杯满溢！
接下来，白雪姊妹邀请大家起身侍立。大家放声齐唱《妈妈，孩子已经会依靠上帝了》这首赞美诗歌。一位姊妹独唱：“上帝的爱是永不离弃的爱，妈妈的爱是从上帝而来的爱。我孤独困苦时，上帝总是把我抱怀中，妈妈你也愿为我舍弃一切。让妈妈操了多少心，让妈妈流了多少泪……孩子已经长大了，已经懂事了。孩子已经懂事了，我要成为你的骄傲。衷心的祝福你，我亲爱的妈妈！”
这首诗歌是曙光教会诗班圣乐老师易姊妹多年前填词、谱曲创作的。
接下来易莲梅长老音频证道，以《圣经》经文赛49:14～16章节为依据，题目是《母爱与神爱》。她分享到，母爱是纯洁的，坚强和牺牲的。神爱是不会忘记的爱和代赎的爱，并且神就是爱。母爱是一种伟大的爱，但神的爱高过母爱、是一切爱的源泉！
