A Zhejiang church held a celebration for the ninth anniversary of its founding.
During the second Sunday service on October 10 in Panshi Church, Hangzhou, a praise meeting themed Just Believe and Don't Be Afraid was launched. At the outset, the bilingual fellowship presented hymns such as "Everybody Ought to Know" to explain to believers and seekers that Jesus is the creator of the universe and means everything to each of us.
Next, the choir sang three songs including "Set Your Mind", encouraging listeners to follow Jesus, the almighty Creator of the heavens, the earth and the sea.
Later, a female Christian shared a testimony about her ten-and-a-half-month-old daughter, who suffered from a dangerous cyst in the mother’s womb. Receiving treatment in the hospital after birth, the baby was cured by God when doctors were at a loss on what to do.
Afterward, the choir performed the anthems "The Lord is My Strength" and "All Things Are Possible".
In addition, Rev. Hu gave a sermon entitled "The Possibility of a Happy Life", sharing why, how and for what to be happy about. Quoting the story of the Prodigal Son, he emphasized that Christians would be fortunate to have an intimate relationship with the Father in a materialistic world. God also bore witness to the Son: "This is my Son whom I love; with whom I am well-pleased!" He loved us so much that He sent His only son Jesus to die on the cross for us sinners. In a way that we could understand and accept, the Lord showed that we were deeply loved by Him. Despite suffering, a happy life is possible through the love of the Heavenly Father.

为纪念建堂九周年，杭州基督教磐石堂在10月10号主日第二堂崇拜举行《只要信不要怕》福音赞美会。
赞美会开始，双语团契献唱《人人都应该知道》和《你是我的一切》，向弟兄姐妹和慕道友朋友传讲耶稣是宇宙万物的创造者，是我们每个人的一切。
诗班献唱《在这里》、《立定心志》、《不要怕》三首歌曲，传递出耶稣是造天造地造海全能的创造者，他是无所不在的，就在这里，和我们每一位在一起，他是涌流的活水，大有能力，我们立定心志跟随他。
接下来是见证分享，一个姊妹向会众作了见证，她分享道，女儿诺娅自在母腹中便患有囊肿，是一种非常危险的疾病，出生后便在医院治疗，在医生都束手无策的时候，神如何保守医治这个幼小的生命，现在十个半月大的女儿，一切都恢复得很好。(详情请点击见证)
之后，诗班以诗歌《主是我力量》、《满有能力》、《凡事都能做》、《不要怕》来回应。
证道环节，胡泉源牧师以《喜乐人生的可能》为主题证道。胡牧从三个方面分享这个主题：1、为何而乐；2、因何而乐；3、如何而乐。牧师引用浪子回头的故事，强调我们跟随耶稣的人，在物欲横流的世界，要以与父有亲密的生命连接为喜乐。父也为子作见证“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的！ 天父爱我们，爱到将他的独生儿子耶稣，在十字架上为我们罪人舍了。天父用这种我们能理解能接受的方式，向我们表明我们是被他深爱的。人生虽有苦难，但在天父的被爱里，喜乐人生就有可能。
