THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY WORSHIP

What a day....we celebrated the arrival of the first LCMS missionary to come to China in 1913. Pastor Arndt served in Hankow until his death in 1929. One hundred years of ministry.

The processional hymn remembered the Lutheran Reformation.

Dr. Jeff Oschwald shared a wonderful message on Psalm 111.

A few words from his message

Dr. Alan Yung brought words of encouragement and greeting from the office of the president of the China Hong Kong Synod.

What a beautiful song of praise from Psalm 111. You can't help but catch the joy!
