Century-Old Liaoning Church Holds Three-Day Retreat

为强化教牧人员、信徒对基本教义的认识，培灵会在中国东北的辽宁省的盖州片区举行，以培养教牧同工和信徒灵命。

2月20日到2月22日，辽宁省营口市基督教三自爱国运动委员会和基督教协会在迄今已有142年历史的盖州市教堂举行培灵会。

营口市基督教两会的此次培灵会分营口片区、老边片区、大石桥片区、柳树教会和盖州教会等几个片区，分片举行。多位传道人和同工到各片区讲道、分享、赞美、培灵。

营口市基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席侯玉洁牧师在2月21日即第二天的培灵会基于希伯来书3章13节的经文，以《趁着还有今日》为主题，分“要珍惜光阴”、“要传扬主恩”和“要谨慎行事”三个方面证道。

盖州市基督教两会和永生堂在营口市基督教两会的领导下，对三天的培灵会从日程安排到会场、音响、安保、后勤保障等做了安排。

Retreats were held in several pastoral areas of a centennial church in northeast China's Liaoning Province to nurture pastoral staff and congregations. 

From February 20 to 22, Yingkou Municipal CC&TSPM held retreat meetings in the 142-year-old Gaizhou Church, the Liushu Church, and other places. Many pastors and staff workers preached, shared, and praised in these places.

Rev. Hou Yujie, chairman of Yingkou TSPM, gave a sermon titled "Seize the Day,"  citing Hebrews 3:13. She encouraged believers to cherish time and, preach the Lord’s grace with cautious behavior.

With the advice of Yingkou CC&TSPM, Gaizhou CC&TSPM and Eternal Life Church (Gaizhou Church) made arrangements for the three-day retreat, including scheduling, venue layout, audio control staff, security, and logistics personnel.
