Guangxi Church Marks Christmas on Second Sunday of Advent

感谢主！将临期已到，12月份进入圣诞月。为了避免出现因为疫情要求不能如期的正常举行欢度圣诞节的活动的实际情况，广西壮族自治区北海基督教会采取了圣诞月四个主日都举行圣诞节庆典活动的办法。

2021年12月5日第二个将临期的主日，北海堂在正常举行包括国语、粤语的四场聚会的同时，在下午的第三场崇拜聚会开启了提早欢度圣诞节的庆祝活动。有诗歌，舞蹈，旗袍秀，圣剧，腰鼓舞等13个节目献给慈恩的主，在赞美表演期间呼召了四位弟兄姊妹加入圣教会。

北海教会的牧长介绍 下一个礼拜是以粤语乡音诗班和大卫诗班为主的圣诞节欢庆活动，再下一个礼拜是以撒诗班为主。

对我们把圣诞节改成圣诞月来过，人数分散，争取让每一个人都能参与过来，各个团契、班组都可以把节目向神献上感恩之心。

A Guangxi Church hosted a celebration for Christmas on the second Sunday of Advent.

On December 5, among the four services in Mandarin and Cantonese in Beihai Church, a celebration to mark Christmas was held in the third worship service. Thirteen different performances were given, including hymns, dances, cheongsam shows, Nativity plays, and waist drum dances, with four seekers who prayed to accept Jesus as their savior.

A pastor of the church said the celebration during the next Sunday would be led by the Cantonese choir and David Choir and that the performances on the fourth Sunday of Advent would be mainly given by Isaac choir.

As Christmas celebrations are conducted across four Sundays in December, the church desires each member to join performances to give thanks to God.
