A church in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province with a history of 30 years marked the fifth anniversary of its completion of the main building.
After the choir sang hymns and the congregation recited the "Apostles' Creed" on July 9, Elder Yi Lianmei of Shuguang Church in Baoji City preached a sermon, sharing that the church began with five persons gathering 30 years ago and the process of building the main buildings three times. She urged believers to give thanks to God through their practical actions and seek God’s will to guide their spiritual lives.
After the sermon, the theatrical performances, beginning with hymns from the senior choir, included thirteen programs from the choir and believers of five pastoral areas. Among them, the dance with recitation titled "We Walked This Way" told the 30-year journey of the church.
The melodrama named "Home of Love" by the elderly choir showed the true stories of the church members fighting against the epidemic in March this year. During lockdown, which lasted over a month, two male believers delivered vegetables purchased by the church to 120 Christians locked at home for seven days.

在2022年7月9日这天上午，宝鸡曙光教会举行了圣殿落成五周年感恩聚会。
在诗班献诗和信众宣读《使徒信经》后，易莲梅长老分享了一篇道，其中分享了三十年前的1992年以5人聚会开始的教会的历程和3次建殿过程（超链接）, 她提出：依靠上帝用自己的实际行动真诚感恩, 常常要去寻求神的旨意指导自己的属灵生活
证道结束后，开始了感恩文艺演出。首先登台的是曙光教会老年诗班献唱，接下来，由教会诗班和五个片区弟兄姊妹依次演出了十三个节目。其中吟诵表演舞蹈《我们这样走过》诉说着曙光教会信徒走过的30年历程。
老年诗班带来的情景剧《爱的家园》再现了今年三月曙光儿女防疫抗疫的真实画面。在封城的一个多月里，教会购买了蔬菜，两位弟兄7天时间里骑着电动车为被封在家的120位弟兄姊妹送菜
