On the morning of October 31, Trinity Church in the Pudong New Area of China's Shanghai held a thanksgiving service after the church’s renovation was completed.
All the pastoral staff in Pudong New Area (North Area) and the choirs of Trinity Church and Kau Yan Church came together for a time of worship gratefulness for blessings, according to Shanghai CC&TSPM.
In the service, Pastor Tian Feng, the deputy director of the New Area CC&TSPM, gave a sermon entitled, "Cheering and Singing in the Sanctuary". She encouraged the believers to thank the Lord for his grace and praise the Lord loudly in the renovated sanctuary.
Rev. Hu Qiuqiu, director of the New Area Christian Council, encouraged the believers to be good citizens who love the country and church. She also said that the believers should follow the truths that come from the Lord and to be good servants, honoring the Lord with their lives.
The main building of the church was completed in September 1999. Because it was in disrepair for many years, the leaders decided to renovate the church beginning in September 2019. Before the renovation was completed in January 2020, believers attended services in Kau Yan Church.
