Liaoning Church Marks 17th Anniversary of Dedication

7月4日主日上午，辽宁省鞍山市绿化街教会迎来了献堂十七周年的纪念日。

清晨，绿化堂的牧长和服侍的同工们早早来到教堂正门迎接前来参加聚会和献堂庆典的弟兄姊妹们，大家按照严格的防疫程序测温、扫码、登记等，然后依次有序的到主副堂就坐，敬拜、赞美、祷告。

献堂礼拜聚会在圣诗班高唱新编赞美诗174首的圣乐和赞美声中开始。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登上圣台，带领会众奉主名读以弗所书4章1-7节经文，以《合一建殿》为题为主证道。

证道结束后，教会的各班组、团契和聚会点，以敬虔的心将早已预备的十七台歌曲、舞蹈、器乐合奏等节目献给主，祝福祖国繁荣昌盛、教会合一兴盛。

整场献堂纪念礼拜聚会\在敬拜赞美中结束。最后弟兄姊妹们领取了纪念品。

A Liaoning church held celebrations to mark its 17^th anniversary of dedication on Sunday, July 4.

In the early morning, the senior pastor and staff workers arrived at Lvhua Street Church in Anshan City before service, welcoming churchgoers at the entrance of the church. Following COVID-19 protocols, believers entered the sanctuary and auxiliary hall to worship, praise and pray.

The celebration service began with the hymn Consecration for The Church Building, sung by the choir. Based on Ephesians 4:1-7, Elder Shi Aijun, chairman of Liaoning Provincial TSPM, dressed in a holy robe, gave a sermon titled The Unity of Building a Temple.

After the sermon, 17 programs, including songs, dances, and instrumental ensemble, were performed by various ministries, fellowships, and meeting points, blessing the prosperity of the motherland and the church.

At the end of the service, each believer received a souvenir.
