On January 4, a church in Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, celebrated the completion of its new building.
Rev. Jiang Li, secretary general of the Luzhu Municipal Three-Self Patriotic Movement, presided over the dedication after the opening performance of “Let Us Praise the Lord,” jointly presented by the Yunnan Xiaoshuijing Miao Farmers' Choir, the Luzhou Heng’ai Choir, and the Hejiang Choir.
Rev. Rao Jianhua, chairman of Sichuan Provincial CC&TSPM, expressed his appreciation for the incorporation of Chinese elements with the church’s interior decoration, which highlighted the theme of localization of Christianity and was well-received by the believers.
Before the ceremony, the church hosted an ordination, with Dai Yun, a church co-worker, being ordained as an elder by the provincial CC&TSPM.
