Two churches in Guangdong and Shaanxi hosted worship services to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
On February 10, the first day of the lunar new year, Zion Church in Guangzhou conducted a worship service, in which Senior Pastor Yang Yongchun, delivered a sermon titled "Happy Lunar New Year" with an explanation for the meaning of the gospel, reported the church.
Pastors and church council members distributed the church’s exclusive Bible verse cards to believers, with wishes for wisdom, strength, and faith in the new year.
After the worship service, the staff of the church distributed dumplings on the spot. Believers greeted each other, wishing that others would have steadfast faith, happy families, and successful careers in the new year.
On the next day, Shilipu Church in Baoji, Shaanxi, held a Sunday service for the Spring Festival. Elder Pang Xianhua preached a sermon titled "A Blessed New Year From God," citing Numbers 6:24-26.
He said that the God of blessings makes his face shine upon, keeps, and is gracious to the people with peace.
Elder Pang shared that Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt on earth, with the blessing of God's protection bestowed upon sinful persons. He gave people salvation freely and filled them with glory. God turned his face toward his people in their sins and, in Jesus, gave them unexpected peace.

广东、陕西教会举行崇拜庆祝春节。
2月10日，广州锡安堂大年初一举行新春礼拜，锡安堂主任牧师杨永纯以《恭贺新“禧”》为题，阐述了福音的真谛。
该堂牧师同工及堂委向信徒派发锡安专属“利是（红包）经文祝福卡”，祈求上帝在新一年赐予信徒智慧、力量和信心。
崇拜结束后，锡安堂的同工们现场派发汤圆。信徒们相互拜年，祝愿彼此在新的一年里信仰坚定、家庭幸福、事业有成。
宝鸡市十里铺教会在大年初二举办了一场春节主日崇拜，逄先华长老以民6：24-26为依据，做主题为《新春蒙神赐福》的证道。讲了五大部分：保护之福、光照之福、赐恩之福、仰脸之福、平安之福。
长老分享道：耶稣基督为了我们，道成肉身降在世间，使罪人的我们领受了被神保护之福。祂赐给我们白白的恩典，并将荣光充满在我们身上。当我们还在罪孽过犯中的时候，是神先向我们仰脸，在耶稣里赐给我们出人意外的平安。
