The 30th Church Anniversary is celebrated under the theme of "Heaven and Earth." It depicts that in Heaven, heavenly hosts and angels and on the earth, men who have experienced human cultivation give glory to God together to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Manmin Central Church announcing that God's source of joy lies in the incessant dedication of the shepherd who has always sought God's will and led the church according to His will and the transformation of church members who have been changing into spirit by His power.
In every anniversary celebration performance since 2010, God Himself has given us praises, instrumental music, and songs for dancing that represent the beauty of New Jerusalem housing God's throne so that we can feel and experience the works of the spiritual realm demonstrated on the earth. God has given those music and songs that have clear and beautiful melodies and lyrics for us to stay unstained by the worldly trends in a much same way that God gave the Israelites a song in order that they would not forget the Law and God's love as written in Deuteronomy 31:19-22.
With the main theme of "Banquet at the Sea," the 28th Anniversary Celebration Performance displayed the banquet to be held on the sea of the most beautiful of the heavenly dwelling places, New Jerusalem. The 29th Anniversary Celebration Performance expressed the happy and joyful life in the beautiful and gorgeous castle of the shepherd in New Jerusalem, under the theme of the "Castle of the Shepherd." In 2012, the 30th Anniversary Celebration Performance has the main theme "Heaven and Earth." It begins with the heavenly praise of angels.
Section 1 Prelude
1. "Beginning of Heaven and Earth" that expresses the beginning of Manmin and the fruits of the fulfillment of God's magnificent providences
This opening performance manifests the beginning of Manmin established in God's plan, its 30-year history fulfilled only with obedience, and the fruits that have been borne. Through an instrumental arrangement, the opening of the immense space, the mysterious and beautiful sounds contained in it, and God's clear and sonorous sounds are expressed. The dignified march of flag-bearing angels and many archangels is expressed with the majestic sounds of the musical instrumentations.
2. "Mysterious Music" that makes us feel the heavenly beauty and mystery
In this performance, many angels congratulate Manmin's anniversary with melody and dance that make us feel the beauty and mystery of Heaven. When the angels fly through the air, beautiful lights are emanated from them and the lights remain at the lower ends of their garments. The flowers on their wreaths give off lights whenever they take a turn. Heaven, where they stay, is expressed with many angels and flower petals.
3. "Celebration Music and March" glorifying God through majestic march
Just as an earthly king is followed by many flag-bearers and trumpeters during his ceremonial walk, this performance expresses the majestic march of special archangel envoys before the appearance of the King. During the performance, if you make up your mind to become men of spirit or whole spirit who are equal to proclaim the power of the Holy Spirit to the whole world and offer up your resolution to God as aroma, you will receive great grace.

5. "Powerful Dance of Trumpet Archangels" celebrating the 30th Anniversary
The archangels of trumpets with golden crowns convey a message in the playing of their trumpets. The message's meaning conveys "Congratulations on Manmin's 30th Anniversary".
6. The "Dance of Dancing Angels" helps us reminisce about Manmin's 30-year history
During the performance we offer up our thanks to God and look back upon Manmin's 30-year history as though we were in a heavenly banquet and reminisced about the time of our cultivation. Manmin's 30-year history is spread out before us by the dance of dancing angels. You will feel as though you can hear, "You did a great job for the past 30 years. You did this at that time. You prayed in one heart with the shepherd at that moment. You shed so many tears throughout those times."
7. "Praise of Praising Angels," Father God's message of love
The song, "Praise of Praising Angels" contains the following lyrics: "From a beautiful place flows out praise" and "The place where there is beautiful praise of the beautiful ones, His eyes stay on this place." It delivers our heavenly Father's message of love to us. In this performance, the archangels praise beautifully playing different kinds of instruments. God is pleased with our members who are endeavoring quickly to stand on the rock of faith, come into spirit, and into whole spirit. So, in this song He calls our church 'a beautiful place' and our members 'beautiful ones'. We will bear in mind once again how blessed and happy we are because we lead our Christian lives receiving such great love of God.
