Guangdong Church Celebrates 112th Anniversary

11月21日，广州市基督教江高堂举办了感恩节暨江高堂复堂30周年、建堂112周年赞美布道会。

上午堂由王纯仁牧师证道，下午堂由陈穗生牧师证道。

此次赞美布道会特别预备的礼物是一把长柄书法雨伞，表示上主长久保护，黑色代表遮盖我们所有的罪，白字表示我们脱离了罪，活出圣洁的生活，为主作美好见证。

坐落在江高镇高塘墟的广州市基督教江高堂（以下简称“江高堂”），是白云区唯一的一座基督教教堂。

1909年，从新西兰来的牧师开始在高塘墟建医院、礼拜堂、学校和宿舍，当时的礼拜堂也就是今日的江高堂，1938年，日军进攻江村、高塘，开启了滥炸，江高堂最终被夷为平地。直到抗日战争胜利，1945年礼拜堂才得以原址重建。1991年恢复聚会后逐步修复面貌。

A Guangdong church celebrated its 112^th anniversary and the 30^th anniversary of its reopening in a Thanksgiving service. 

On November 21 in Jianggao Church, Guangzhou, Rev. Wang Chunren preached in the morning service, while Rev. Chen Suisheng in the afternoon.

In the celebration, the church staff gave out black umbrellas with long handles as gifts, which meant that the Lord would protect us for a long time. The black represented the covering of all the sins, and white characters showed that believers were free from sin and that they could live a holy life as a good witness to the Lord.

Located in Gaotangxu, Jianggao Town, Jianggao Church is the only church in the Baiyun District. Built in 1909 together with hospitals, schools, and dormitories by foreign pastors from New Zealand, the church was razed to the ground by Japanese bombing raids in 1938. It was rebuilt on its original site in 1945 after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. After being reopened in 1991, it was restored to its original appearance at the same location.
