上海闵行区基督教浦锦佳音堂献堂感恩礼拜暨献堂典礼
10月8日上午8时,上海闵行区基督教浦锦佳音堂献堂感恩礼拜暨献堂典礼在佳音堂隆重举行。感恩礼拜上,闵行区各堂点首次成立跨堂联合诗班、联合敬拜团,一同颂赞主的伟大和奇妙,共贺佳音堂的落成。
上海市基督教教务委员会主席耿卫忠牧师以《把房子盖在磐石上》为题证道,劝勉大家要将教会建造在使徒和先知的根基上,以耶稣基督为房角石,要像一个聪明人将房子盖在磐石上,雨淋,水冲,风吹,撞着那房子,房子总不倒塌。
上午10时15分,伴随着激昂雄壮的国歌声,鲜艳的五星红旗冉冉升起,迎风飘扬,全体领导、嘉宾及教牧同工和信徒肃立注目。
升旗仪式后,闵行区基督教三自爱国运动委员会主任、浦锦佳音堂堂务主任徐引宝长老致辞。徐长老介绍了浦锦佳音堂建造的整个过程,并表达了对党和政府各级部门、历届闵行区基督教两会班子以及市、各区基督教两会由衷的感谢。
上海市基督教教务委员会主席耿卫忠牧师致辞并祝贺,耿牧师从三个意识(即社会意识、法治意识、教会意识)及两个责任对闵行区基督教教牧同工及信徒提出了新的期望和要求,希望闵行区的教会能成为闵行区的一盏明灯,给周边的人带来祝福。
闵行区委统战部副部长、区民族和宗教事务办公室主任张苏华致辞。张部长充分肯定了对闵行区基督教两会的工作,同时希望,全区基督教信众能以浦锦佳音堂献堂为契机,在区基督教两会的带领下,发扬爱国爱教光荣传统,紧密团结在以习近平同志为核心的党中央周围,自觉践行社会主义核心价值观,始终坚持我国基督教的中国化方向不动摇,做到政治上自觉认同、文化上自觉融合、社会上自觉适应,讲好闵行宗教故事,展示中国基督教风采。
闵行区委统战部副部长、区民族和宗教事务办公室主任张苏华,上海市基督教教务委员会主席耿卫忠牧师,上海市基督教两会秘书长张爱理牧师,浦锦街道党工委副书记赵铮,浦江镇党委委员许晔婷,闵行区基督教三自爱国运动委员会主任徐引宝长老,闵行区基督教教务委员会主任常美娜牧师共同推动了浦锦佳音堂献堂庆典仪式的推杆,标志着浦锦佳音堂的正式启用。

浦锦佳音堂的献堂典礼恰逢三自爱国运动发起七十周年,极具历史意义,这将时刻提醒我们要继承和发扬老一辈爱国基督徒的使命意识和责任担当,以身作则带领好信徒始终坚持爱国爱教的道路,坚持基督教中国化方向,积极参与社会公益事业,积极参与文明城区创建,积极投身于社会主义的经济建设,做优秀的国家公民,为社会主义社会的文明与和谐,作出更大的贡献。
