Two Ordination Ceremonies Conducted in Shandong, Guizhou

11月21日，山东省基督教两会在青岛江苏路教堂举行按立圣职典礼，来自青岛、日照的14位同工被按立圣职，其中10位同工为牧师；4位为长老。

省基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席高明牧师借提摩太后书2章20-26节的经文，以“宝贵的器皿”为主题进行了分享。他指出，器皿的贵重在于其品质和其中所盛的，以及所流露出的；劝勉即将被按立的同工：要清心祷告，洁净自己，追求公义、信德、仁爱、和平，成为被主重用的器皿

2021年11月21日，贵州省基督教协会在贵州圣经学校礼堂举行圣职按立典礼，按立19位牧师、23位长老，有效缓解了贵州教会“庄稼多、工人少”的现状。

More than 50 church workers were ordained pastors or elders last Sunday. 

On November 21, Shandong Provincial CC&TSPM ordained ten pastors and four elders in Jiangsu Road Church, Qingdao. Based on 2 Timothy 2:20-26, Rev. Gao Ming, chairman of Shandong TSPM, shared a sermon titled An Instrument for Noble Purposes, saying that the value of an instrument was made up of its quality, what it contained, and what it revealed. The pastor exhorted these new clergy to make prayers for spiritual cleansing, to pursue justice, faith, love, and peace, and to be a noble vessel for God, according to Shandong CC&TSPM.

Another ordination ceremony took place in Guizhou Bible School on the same day, with 19 pastors and 23 elders appointed, alleviating the situation of "the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few" in Guizhou churches, according to CCC&TSPM.
