Guangxi Church Urges Members to Pray for Buying New Church

2021年9月5日，是九月份第一个主日，广西壮族自治区北海基督教堂举行了圣餐礼拜。

今天的主日聚会还是分为上下午四场、用普通话和粤语分别进行。

在圣诗班庄严的《主在圣殿中》圣乐和会众的赞美声中，聚会开始。张业忠牧师、黄正欣牧师以《当如何看待钱财？》在四场聚会分别为主证道。

服侍的同工从主礼牧师手中接过圣餐，然后把饼和杯送到待领圣餐的弟兄姊妹的手中。大家低头闭目警醒祷告、认罪悔改、省察自己，感谢主恩，主的生命成为大家生命的供应和滋养。

圣餐礼拜在高唱《奉献身心歌》和散会诗《我今天为你祝福》中圆满落下帷幕。

北海堂聚会证道之前有例行的堂务报告：在市民宗侨务局领导的关心支持下，北海堂开始购置新堂，整个项目预算约600万元人民币。现在还有缺口，希望大家能够甘心乐意奉献。

A church in China’s northern Guangxi Province urges its members to donate for purchasing a new church.

Beihai Church held communion services on the first Sunday in September, four services in Mandarin and Cantonese in the morning and afternoon.

After the hymn The Lord is in His Holy Temple was sung by the choir and congregation, a sermon was given with the title "How to treat money?"

Later, in the communion, attendants delivered the bread and cup to believers from the officiating pastors. All Christians bowed their heads to pray and confess their sins, thanking God for giving them the Lord’s life to nourish their lives.

The service ended with the hymns Living For Jesus and Bless You Today.

In addition, the pastor also reported church affairs, urging the members to make offerings for a project of purchasing a new church, which would cost six million yuan.
