祝賀陳牧師和師母 90 歲生日快樂

#2024-1006A

Happy birthday to you, Dear Rev. Charles Chen & Mary Jo:

金黃歲月跟隨主，

地道更新好牧人；

美善生涯多見證，

鏡心實界不離神。

This morning, during the Chinese service at 10:45 a.m., St. James' Church held a special celebration for the 90th birthdays of our Rector Emeritus and his wife. The event was integrated into the service, and many people attended the celebration to show their love and respect.

After attending the English service, Jean and I also joined the celebration. To express our birthday wishes, I wrote a traditional four-line poem (see above), with each line containing seven characters. I used Rev. Charles' and his wife's Chinese names, 金地 and 美鏡, to start each line. I also created a PowerPoint presentation (see below) that featured the poem along with several photos highlighting the close bond between both couples. The presentation was accompanied by Jean's rendition of "耶和華祝福滿滿" (Jehovah's Blessings Abound) as the background music.
