Fujian Church Greets Spring Festival with ​​Calligraphy

春节前，福建一大教堂展出多位基督徒书画家的近五十幅作品。

在2月4日，在福州花巷堂的古厝里，汇聚了该教会信徒的中国书法美术作品。作品内容多以圣经经文为主，描绘和展示了基督徒爱国、爱教，荣神益人的新风貌。另据堂办公室同工向笔者介绍，此次书画展将延至农历正月十五。

几年来，花巷堂每年都会组织牧者、基督徒中的书法爱好者书写基督教春联，免费送基层教会或信徒。

在今天的书画展会上，几位基督徒书法爱好者也在展厅里为信徒免费书赠春联，受到广大信徒的欢迎。

Before the Chinese New Year, a church in Fujian Province exhibited nearly 50 works by several Christian calligraphers and painters.

On February 4, Huangxiang (Flower Lane) Church in Fuzhou displayed congregants’ Chinese calligraphy and artwork at the ancient house of Huaxiang Church, which mainly contained Bible verses, presenting the new outlook of Christians who are patriotic and faithful, living lives that glorify God and benefit society. According to the church staff, this exhibition will be prolonged until the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Huaxiang Church has organized pastors and Christian calligraphy lovers to write Christian couplets for several Spring Festivals, which will be presented to grassroots churches or believers.

This year, several Christian calligraphy enthusiasts also gave away free Spring Festival couplets to believers in the exhibition hall, which the congregation appreciated.
