On the last Sunday in October, the Lvhua Street Church in Anshan, Liaoning, held a praise gathering to celebrate the 2020 Autumn Harvest Thanksgiving Day.
On October 25, believers came to the church early. Pastor Yuan Ming, president of the Anshan Municipal CC&TSPM and other pastoral staff greeted them at the front entrance of the church.
Elder Shi Aijun, chairman of the Liaoning Provincial CC&TSPM, dressed in his clerical robes, greeted the believers. He read Luke 17:11-19 and gave a sermon entitled, “A Grateful Heart”. In the Biblical story, Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one Samaritan came back and thanked the Lord for healing him. Jesus asked him, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?” Through this miracle and the Lord’s teaching, we learn that some believers weren’t grateful when they received the Lord’s grace and were healed. He emphasized that no matter what environment they encountered, they must thank God for all things all the time, praise and pray for everything so that they will be joyful and lack nothing. Elder Shi also said they must give thanks and glory to the Triune God.
Then, Pastor Yuan led the believers in singing "I Bless You Today", then the thanksgiving and praise meeting began.
On the stage, members from the churches various ministries presented more than 20 programs to praise and thank the Lord. The programs contained poems, dances, chorus, solo singing, and an instrumental ensemble which was carefully prepared.
Before it began, the big screen showed the believers singing hymns and dancing on past Thanksgiving Days.
The church also held an autumn Thanksgiving and praise gathering in the evening Sunday service.

在十月的最后一个主日，辽宁鞍山绿化街教会喜迎2020年秋收感恩节赞美会。
10月25日，信徒们早早来到教会，袁明牧师等教牧同工在教堂正门迎接前来参加庆典活动的信徒。
辽宁省基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席史爱军长老身着圣服，走到圣台问候弟兄姊妹平安。他带领会众诵读新约圣经路加福音17章11-19节的经文，从主耶稣基督为十个长大麻风的医治之后只有一个撒玛利亚人回来感谢主恩，耶稣说：“洁净了的不是十个人吗？那九个在哪里呢？”通过这个主的神迹和圣训，说明我们其中也有不知道感恩的信徒。为此，史爱军长老以《要有感恩的心》为讲章的题目，为主证道。他强调：不管遇到什么环境都要感谢上帝，要学会凡事谢恩、凡事赞美、凡事祷告。上帝就在我们身边，一定要相信主耶稣的存在，学会感恩，就什么也不缺乏。事事感恩、时时感恩，才能幸福喜乐，要把一切感谢都归给三一的神。
接着，鞍山市基督教协会会长袁明牧师带领信徒一起高唱《我今天为你祝福》，从而拉开了秋成感恩赞美会的帷幕。
在感恩赞美会现场，教会的各个团契、班组和各堂点，把精心排练准备的诗歌、舞蹈、合唱、独唱、器乐合奏，将《数算主恩歌》《感恩之歌》《感恩秋韵之美》等二十余个节目呈现给恩主。
开始之前，大屏幕显示着信徒的赞美诗歌和以往秋成感恩节的舞姿。
在晚场的主日礼拜中，教会也同样举行秋成感恩赞美会。
