Welcoming Christ Our King and Via Lethbridge
A note from Bishop Dan as we welcome Christ Our King Calgary and Via Lethbridge into the diocese.
Dear friends,
I have more happy news to share with you about new congregations joining our diocese. After a thorough time of prayer and discernment both Christ Our King in Calgary (formerly Via Calgary) and Via Church Lethbridge have applied for membership in ANiC and we have now gladly received them with great thanksgiving.
Christ Our King in Calgary is under the leadership of Rev. Trevor Jameus and will be welcomed officially by me at a special service on June 1st.
Via Lethbridge is under the leadership of Rev. Stephen Barbour and I will formally welcome them into the diocese at a service on June 2nd.
This is a significant moment for these churches and our diocese, and you are warmly invited to join me and others as we joyfully welcome these newest congregations into our ANiC family.
