Good Shepherd (Cantonese) Calgary’s Thanksgiving

1782094_732344816777925_277842301_nIn February 2014, Good Shepherd Calgary enters its second year as an ANiC church plant.  Since their inception, this church plant has been growing.  In their first year, 10 people were baptized and two babies were born.  One of the babies will receive infant baptism later.  In fact, the four generations of this baby’s family are members of this church (and some were baptized in this church).

May the great Good Shepherd continue to use this church as a community of worship and of witnessing Jesus’ good news of hope and peace.
