Siluo Presbyterian Church marks 130th anniversary

>Reported by Chen Wei-jian

>Written by Lydia Ma

PCT Chiayi Presbytery’s Siluo Church celebrated its 130th  anniversary with a special worship

service in the afternoon of November 15, 2009. More than 700  people attended this gathering

to mark a historic and joyous occasion. All of the offering  received during the service was

donated to New Eyes Television in hopes of helping the troubled  PCT network.

During the service, a church elder gave an overview of Siluo  Church’s history and also invited

all pastors who had previously served at Siluo and their families  to come to the stage. Many

attendees had not seen each other in years, so, it was a happy  gathering as everyone caught

>up with old acquaintances.

Among the families of pastors who made it to this celebration, the  oldest ones were the sons

and daughters of former Siluo pastor, Rev. Lin Chin-shen, who were  all in their eighties.

Siluo Church was founded in 1879 and it has planted 8 other  churches since then. One could

say that it is a church that emphasizes evangelism and outreach.  Church members and

leaders hope the church can continue actively sharing the gospel  in the future.
