On Feb. 26th when the warmth of spring was in the air, welcome news more joyful than that of spring flowers came to us. It was two churches, not one, that built their new buildings and would dedicate them to God. They were the Nowon Church in Seoul and the Jinjeop Church in Namyangju.

The Nowon Church, which built a new temple and dedicated it to God, is located in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul. Its total floor area is 1,135㎡ [1,357yd²], with four floors above ground and one underground. The main worship hall in duplex type has 350 seats, and the church is well equipped with a pleasant and nice education room, a reception room, baptism rooms and a cafeteria. There are many apartments and officetels around the church, and a subway station and Mt. Suraksan are close to it.

The Jinjeop Church in Namyangju is located in Janghyeon-ri, Jinjeop-eup, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do. The church has four floors above ground and two underground, and there are 500 seats in the main worship hall. The total floor area is 1,826㎡ [2,183yd²] and its exterior looks grand as its finishing materai ls are red bricks and marble. There is a main worship hall in duplex type, and its bright interior is furnished with an education room, a reception room, a baby room and a cafeteria. It is an advantage that the area has many people and the streets are lively as it is adjacent to a new town.

The dedication service was held at 2:30 p.m. in the Nowon Church in Seoul, and the Jinjeop Church had the dedication service together with the Third-day service in the evening.

Through the two services, Mother blessed all the members around the world with the blessing of good fruit. Mother expressed Her gratitude to the members who made great efforts with patience until they built a new temple and dedicated it to God as well as the members who came from nearby churches to attend the service and celebrate the dedication. She also blessed the new temple that was offered to God the Father to be the “Zion where good fruits would stream into and display the glory of God.”

General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol congratulated the church dedication, saying, “God allowed His children to have a precious Church of God again that He established with His blood.” He encouraged the members “to give thanks to God for granting a new temple and to fill all the empty seats so that we can repay Him.”

Through his sermon, Pastor Kim Joo-cheol preached: “The Passover of the new covenant, when we have the bread and wine representing Jesus’ flesh and blood, is the precious feast that we can inherit God’s flesh and blood, that is, the DNA of eternal life. The life of spirit can be given only through Mother, just as mitochondria the byword for life energy is inherited only through mother” (Ro 8:16-17; 1 Jn 5:9-12; Jn 6:53-58; Mt 26:17, 26-28; Gal 4:26; Rev 22:17). He also asked the members “to be the messengers preaching the Passover of the new covenant and the love of Mother with gratitude since we have God’s eternal life DNA—the best DNA in the whole universe—through God the Mother and the truth of the Passover of the new covenant.”

The members said that they gave thanks to God for allowing them to have a bigger and more beautiful temple than before, and hoped that they would quickly preach the truth and fill the new temple with good fruit since God granted them the beautiful temple for the work of preaching the gospel to those who do not know God.
