A Jilin church in Liaoyuan City hosted Thanksgiving-themed activities on two consecutive Sundays, including a joint praise meeting and a sharing session

On November 14, Nanzhan Church in Dongfeng County held a joint Thanksgiving worship service in which three choirs, five branch churches, and four fellowships participated.

First, the Holy Fellowship presented the dance "Heaven is The Most Beautiful", followed by dances of "The Passionate Bridegroom" and "I Am a Christian" from Tianhe Choir and Nancheng Branch Church. Among the participants, the oldest one was over 80 years old.

Afterward, the staff workers of the Youth Department performed a Nativity play titled "Our Love Makes the World Different." Following three dances, another Nativity play "Ruth" was acted out by more than 20 believers, showing God's grace in a difficult environment.

After the dance "Mary of Bethany" from Agape Choir, the meeting concluded with blessings from Senior Pastor Liu Xuesong.

On November 21, the church launched a testimony sharing session with gratitude, in which Pastor Liu Cui first presented a testimony titled "Restoring Grace", followed by other testimonies concerning spiritual growth, experiencing Jesus' help, gaining salvation through a romantic relationship, and life transformation through ministry by other co-workers. 

At last, Luo Yi, the wife of the senior pastor, preached a sermon titled "The Baton of Love is in My Hand", encouraging Christians to be gospel bearers and successors of service.
