Penglai Church Conducts Summer Retreat

连日来，山东蓬莱热浪滚滚，达到34℃以上的持续高温，蓬莱区基督教会举行为期两天的夏季培灵会。

据山东蓬莱教会，两天参加人数达到了1500多人次。

8月3日第一天，蓬莱教会邀请海阳三自爱国委员会主任李松恩主任以《知足吧》、《跟从主吧》为讲题展开了证道。讲到跟从主的选择、赏赐，以一个知足的心，来跟从主。

8月4日，培灵会的第二天是主日。蓬莱教会邀请了烟台两会的盖立恒传道员前来证道。他以《寻求最大的医治》为讲题，引用了马可福音5章21—43节的经文。说到 今天信徒要寻求的是比从死里复活更大的医治，就是藉着耶稣的流血舍命、死里复活所带给我们的，到主再来的时候，他们的身体和灵魂在神国度里的医治。

培灵会最后举行了圣餐敬拜，大家领受了祝福的饼和杯。

While Penglai, Shandong  has been experiencing a heatwave in recent days, with temperatures soaring above 34°C, Penglai District Church held a two-day summer revival meeting.

A total of above 1,500 people attended the two-day event, reported the church.

On August 3, the first day of the meeting, Li Song'en, director of Haiyang Municipal TSPM, was invited to deliver sermons titled "Be Content" and "Follow the Lord." He spoke about the choices and rewards of following the Lord, encouraging congregants to follow the Lord with a contented heart.

The next day, the church invited Pastor Gai Liheng from Yantai CC&TSPM to deliver a sermon with the title of "Seeking the Greatest Healing," citing Mark 5:21-43. He emphasized that rather than resurrection, believers should seek the healing of their bodies and souls in God’s kingdom when the Lord returns, which was brought through Jesus' sacrifice, death, and resurrection.

The retreat concluded with a communion service, where each Christian received the bread and cup.
