A church in Fujian Province held a dedication ceremony for its new building after a decade’s construction.
The Baxia Church in Bangtou Town, Xianyou County, Putian City, conducted a dedication ceremony and service, reported the Putian Municipal Charity Association.
On November 16, Rev. Zhang Liqin read Hebrews 10:15–24. Prev. Huang Liping interpreted Rev. Zheng Jincan's sermon, "Renewal of Old and New Eras and Growth of Physical and Spiritual Life," which was based on those scriptures.
During the sermon, Pastor Zheng elaborated on the period from Moses to David; from the commandments and law of the Old Testament to the gospel and grace in the era of the New Testament; from the prophets to John the Baptist to Jesus; from the altar of the burnt offering to Jesus’s crucifixion, which accomplishes salvation. He exhorted the congregation to love each other and practice good deeds as the Lord.
A church staff responsible for the church’s finances reported on the expenses for the construction, which included a total of 7.5 million yuan spent, 400,000 yuan borrowed, and 800,000 yuan temporarily lacking.
The Baxia Church has nurtured pastoral talents for the county and the province, among which six pastors were sent to theological seminaries at home and abroad for further study.

福建省的一个教堂为历经十个春秋建的新堂做献堂礼拜。
据莆田市慈爱协会，莆田仙游榜头坝下教堂举行圣殿落成庆典。
11月16日，张丽钦牧师颂读希伯来书10章15至24节，由郑金灿牧师以《新旧时代的更新和身心生命的成长》为题证道，黄丽萍教师传译。
证道中，牧师阐述了从会幕时代到圣殿直至帐幕；从石版到心版至律法一直到今天恩典的新时代；从预表到预备至预言一直到应验成就与成长；从祭坛到十架羔羊成就救恩。并以此劝勉会众彼此相顾，效主行善。
坝下堂财务同工做教堂财务报告，建堂历经十载共计花费了750万元，借款40万元，暂缺80万元。
这里为省市县输送一大批教牧人才，有六位牧人接受呼召去金陵神学院，福建神学院等学习，得到培养。
