A memorial service was held for a female elder in Jiangsu, eastern China.
The memorial service for Elder Huang Fuyin was held in Suzhou Shishan Church on June 3, according to Suzhou CC&TSPM.
Following the hymn “Full or crescent be the moon,” Rev. Huang Fuping, the supervisor of the Suzhou Municipal Christian Council, preached a sermon titled “Blessed Life”. Rev. Gu Yuntao and Elder Jin Liqin delivered speeches representing pastors and believers. The eldest son and second son of Elder Huang also gave brief eulogies in remembrance of their later mother and expressed gratitude to the attendees.
Despite having never attended school, elder Huang was humble and studious, allowing her to read the Bible fluidly. She devoted her time and energy to serving the church and training godly offspring who had a deep love for God. She prayed with tears many times, calling on her family to donate money for the construction of Shishan Church. Eventually, a Gothic-style church was built by Suzhou believers.
More than 180 people, including Elder Huang’s offspring, and staff members and believers of Shishan Church gathered to pay tribute to Elder Huang at the service.

中国东部的江苏省的一个女长老的追思礼拜举行。
据苏州市基督教两会，6月3日，黄福音长老追思礼拜在狮山堂举行。
追思礼拜在赞美诗《追思歌》（《Full or crescent be the moon》）中开始，市基督教协会监事黄馥萍牧师以《蒙福的人生》为题证道。顾云涛牧师和金丽琴长老分别代表牧者及信徒作追思缅怀，黄福音长老的长子及次子作家属行述及答谢。
黄福音长老虽然没有上过学，但她虚心好学，能熟练地阅读圣经。她不仅热心服侍教会，也培养出敬虔爱主的儿女和后代。在狮山堂的建造上，她多次流泪祷告，呼召家人积极奉献钱财。最终，一座由苏州信徒自己出资建造的哥特式教堂拔地而起。
黄福音长老的子孙后辈，狮山堂牧长同工及信徒，约180多人参加。
