Guangzhou CC&TSPM pastoral Class in Guangdong Province started its second-quarter course attended by about 70 local pastors and co-workers.
Zhou Yongci who has long been teaching worship etiquette, chorus conducting techniques, and choir training in East China Theological Seminary taught on the theme "Congregational Hymns in Sunday Worship" on August 3, according to CCC&TSPM.
Ms. Zhou introduced the four-fold worship structure and analyzed the congregational hymns in Sunday worship from different perspectives. The four-day study included not only theoretical knowledge of hymns, but also interactive aspects such as playing, appreciation, singing, and group discussion of hymns, according to Guangzhou CC&TSPM.
CCC&TSPM claimed that studying the creation of traditional church congregational hymns and analyzing the theological and biblical connotations would help pastors and co-workers to explore the Sinicization of worship etiquette in Guangzhou churches and choose suitable congregational poems for different ritual actions in Sunday worship.
During the discussion session, pastors and co-workers discussed with Zhou on the four-fold structure of congregational hymns, the theological significance of the church calendar, and worship etiquette, all mentioned in the course.

广东省广州市基督教两会教牧班第二季度课程开班，与全市教牧同工约70人参加。
据全国基督教网报道，2021年8月3日，本次讲员周永慈老师任教华东神学院，长期教授崇拜礼仪、合唱指挥技法、诗班训练等，本次课程她就“主日崇拜中的会众圣诗”这一主题进行讲授。
周永慈老师通过介绍四迭崇拜架构，从不同角度对主日崇拜中的会众圣诗进行介绍和解析。 为期4天的学习，既有圣诗理论知识的传授，又有圣诗弹奏、赏析、奏唱、小组讨论等互动环节。
基督教网认为，学习教会传统会众圣诗的创作及其神学、圣经内涵解析，有助于教牧同工们探索广州教会崇拜礼仪的中国化路向，为主日崇拜中不同礼仪动作选择合适的会众诗歌。
在交流讨论环节，教牧同工们就课程中提到的会众圣诗的四迭结构、教会年历各节期的神学意义及崇拜礼仪等问题，与周永慈老师进行了讨论交流。
