During the Advent season, faculty and students from Guangdong Union Theological Seminary participated in a prayer meeting themed "Make Your Face Shine Upon Us."

The gathering took place at Union Church in Guangzhou on December 6, said CCC&TSPM. The prayer session included adoration, confession prayer, proclamation of absolution, and prayers for illumination.

Inside the church, which was simple and solemn, white candles symbolized Christ's purity and presence, while purple and pink candles represented vigilance and waiting. Throughout the prayer session, the leaders guided them in praying for the world and the church, governmental leaders, pastors, and teachers of the seminary, as well as for personal faith.

Chanting the Psalms, attendees joined with saints of the past in prayer and praise.
