A church in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, held a dedication ceremony last Friday for four Christians who were willing to join the choir.

After the four members walked to the stage, Senior Pastor Liu Xuesong, who presided over the service held in Nanzhan Church in Dongfeng County, asked them if they were willing to dedicate themselves, followed by their immediate response of "I’m willing!"

After the pastor led them in a dedicated prayer, fellow workers dressed them in holy clothes and presented flowers. The four members expressed joy in their hearts: "With the most beautiful clothes in our life, we will always be together on the way of service!" Hearing their words, other believers could not help but shed tears of gratitude.

Luo Juan, on behalf of three choirs, gave a welcome speech to the newcomers, said, "We should encourage each other, walking hand in hand. We can practice Bible reading, praying, and praising to get twice the result with half the effort, without giving up service halfway!"

After the congregation stood up to recite the Lord’s Prayer, the ceremony ended with the pastor’s benediction.
