On October 16, Elder Yao Zhangyi interprets the verse of 1 Corinthians 13:13, encouraging the congregation to be Christians of faith, hope and love on the first Sunday service in Xifeng Church of Qiyang, Gansu.
Brother Zhang Yonghao of the church said that the first service, which is for the younger parishioners, involves playing modern instruments of guitar, keyboard, drum and piano and aims to release the young from the pressures of work in worship and bring them before God.
About 50 people attended the service and around 300 attendees joined in the second service held near noon, the majority of whom are the middle-aged and aged.
The church holds Sunday services, a Bible study and morning prayer meetings on weekdays.
