A church in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, held a dedication ceremony last Friday for four Christians who were willing to join the choir.
After the four members walked to the stage, Senior Pastor Liu Xuesong, who presided over the service held in Nanzhan Church in Dongfeng County, asked them if they were willing to dedicate themselves, followed by their immediate response of "I’m willing!"
After the pastor led them in a dedicated prayer, fellow workers dressed them in holy clothes and presented flowers. The four members expressed joy in their hearts: "With the most beautiful clothes in our life, we will always be together on the way of service!" Hearing their words, other believers could not help but shed tears of gratitude.
Luo Juan, on behalf of three choirs, gave a welcome speech to the newcomers, said, "We should encourage each other, walking hand in hand. We can practice Bible reading, praying, and praising to get twice the result with half the effort, without giving up service halfway!"
After the congregation stood up to recite the Lord’s Prayer, the ceremony ended with the pastor’s benediction.

2021年4月16日，吉林省辽源市东丰南站堂为四位甘心乐意加入诗班的同工，举行了奉献礼。
四位同工走到台前，主持礼拜的刘雪松牧师代表教会及弟兄姊妹在上帝面前对她们有了信仰的询问，她们也即刻回应“我愿意！”
牧师带领他们做了奉献归主祷告，并有同工给穿戴圣服，献花。四位同工也纷纷表达心中的愉悦……“这一生最美的衣服就是这神圣的圣服，侍奉的路上我们永远在一起！”听着她们的肺腑感言，弟兄姐妹不禁流出感恩的泪花。
罗娟同工代表三个诗班对新人的加入致欢迎词，劝勉中提到：“共同勉励，携手同行，侍奉不能半途而废，读经祷告赞美，事半功倍！”
东丰南站堂的同工奉献礼在全体起立同颂主祷文后，在牧师的祝福中落下帷幕。
