We welcome Anglican Network Church of the Good Shepherd (South Asian) Calgary, our newest church plant.
Calgary has ranked third in proportion of visible minorities, just behind Toronto and Vancouver. South Asian (mainly Indian and Pakistani) is the second largest visible minority group. The vision of this Church-Plant is to reach out to those who speak Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi. Many of them miss their cultural and religious customs – worshipping the Lord in their own language(s) and singing geet (hymns) and zaboors (psalms) which give them spiritual nourishment.
Following this launch, Good Shepherd, a Cantonese-speaking congregation of 35-40 led by Evangelist Tom Lo, will meet regularly beginning February 17, 2013.
The group has been meeting for Bible study for two years as an evangelistic outreach ministry. About half of the congregation are seekers. So far one family and three adults have been baptized and others are preparing for baptism.
Good Shepherd Calgary will officially launch as an ANiC church plant with Bishop Stephen Leung officiating at a Holy Communion service on February 9 (Saturday) at 1pm. The service will be held at Our Lady of Peace Maronite Catholic Parish of Calgary, 504 – 30th Ave, NW Calgary. All are welcome.
