After receiving Christmas gifts and pre-printed bible verses at the entrance, churchgoers were seated according to the seat number assigned to them by the attendant and praised the Lord along with the choir.
After reading relevant verses of the Gospel of Luke, Rev. Liu Xueguang preached a sermon titled "Giving Glory to God", sharing two parts of "the virtues of a shepherd" and "the humble king-savior".
Then, fellowships, teams, groups, and activity sites presented more than 20 programs, including a solo, chorus, dance, hymn, instrument performance, Nativity play, and a program played in an allegro tempo. To close, performers and audience practiced yangge, a Chinese folk dance.
During the celebration, three female seekers made a prayer of confession.
