These services are held at the rented Church building at 420 N 34th Street, Springfield, MI, 49037. Worship services are conducted by the pastors or Deacons, as well as by members of the congregation who have been tasked with leading particular portions of each service, such as a hymn or reading from scripture. The pastors of the Church lead the worship service. The Church has two ordained pastors, the honorary retired senior ordained Pastor Rev. Dr. Sut Sian Thang and Church Pastor Rev. Thang Lian Thawn. They both completed the Seminary School and are ordained ministers. The worship service program began with singing the praise and worship, continuing with announcements, scripture reading, and solo singing. Then, the program continues with group songs from church members and the church choir. Ushers distribute an offertory and tithes collection basket so attendants can donate and provide the offering. Then the pastors or guest speakers deliver the sermon, and the ordained minister's prayer concludes the service. The guest speakers may be pastors from other congregations around town who come to preach sermons, entertainers such as soloists, or choirs from other churches around town who sing during worship service times. The entire worship service took about two hours. 0 0 0 Rev THANG LIAN THAWN Pastor 20.00 4500 0 0 Rev Dr Sut Sian Thang Pastor 20.00 4000 false false false false false false false false false MI Ngun Kip Tial 1257 BRUNSWICK DR Battle Creek MI 49015 2694250681 false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 Part I, Line 16 16.
