Guangxi Beihai Church held four services last Sunday to mark the annual Father’s Day that just fell right on the third Sunday of this June.
In the first service, Rev. Huang Zhengxin exhorted the congregation to obey their parents in the Lord and honor them in a sermon titled “Parents and Children,” according to Ephesians 6:1-4 and Colossians 3:20-21.
The church prepared a surprise for Christian fathers: two flowers, of which were a baby’s breath (gypsophila) and a red rose, were given to each father.
Expressing thanks, each father was filled with smiles.
Later, the congregation blessed them with singing and applause.

6月20日,是主日,也恰逢一年一度的父亲节,广西北海基督教堂举行了上午下午共四场的主日聚会。
上午首场聚会由黄正欣牧师带领会众诵读圣经以弗所书6章1-4节、歌罗西书3章20-21节经文。
父亲节的北海堂洋溢着主的慈爱。
黄牧师以《父母与儿女》为题为主证道。
告诫弟兄姊妹遵主的教导:“你们作儿女的,要在主里听从父母,这是理所当然的。”
“要孝敬父母,使你得福,在世长寿。
这是第一条带应许的诫命。”
(以弗所书6章1节、3节)
当大家沉浸在主的诫命和福杯满溢的恩典之中的时候,教会给了那些为人父的弟兄一个意外惊喜:由同工们为他们送上一束象征清纯、关怀、思恋、真爱以及纯洁的心灵的“满天星”和代表爱情、和平、友谊、勇气和献身精神的红玫瑰,祝福他们在基督里度过快乐的父亲节!
当教会和同工将这一束束充满主的爱、充满父亲节温馨的祝福的花送到弟兄们的手中的时候,他们起立向牧长和同工们致意,表示感谢,每个人都喜笑颜开。
随后,全场的会众都在以歌声和掌声中为父亲们祝福。
父亲节里思父恩,劳苦功高恩情深。
不忘天父蒙拣选,赐我永生圣洁魂。
主日遇上父亲节,也充满主的爱和温馨,在这个不同寻常的主日,我们祝愿父神和主耶稣的恩惠、平安、健康、喜乐与父亲们同在!
