A Guangdong church will launch a series of activities to mark its 35th anniversary following the continuation of its services in September.
On September 5, Dr. Wu Ning, the deputy researcher of Guangdong Institute of Ethnic and Religious Studies and the deputy president of Guangdong Union Theological Seminary, will give a lecture titled "Christianity and Modern Guangzhou Society".
Besides the lecture, Guangzhou Fangcun Church will hold a joint praise meeting, a thanksgiving worship service, an ordination for deacons, a general election of the church council, as well as presenting an exquisite gift and a special issue for the reopening in 1986.
The church was built in 1891 by Rev Henry V. Noyes of the American Presbyterian Mission inside the Pui Ying Middle School.
