Thank you for Sowing into Diverse-City

We are so grateful your generosity towards the work of equipping God's people to reach immigrants.  

Your support enables us to help churches offer life giving community-building programs.  If you'd like to make a donation or become a monthly partner visit our website.

For the first time in the event’s history, we will be partnering with the Centre for Newcomers and the Immigrant Ministry Network to provide an integrated program.

With the theme of Opening Doors in Your Community, a wide variety of Calgary’s community service programs will be on hand to explain how their distinctive services can assist you in building vibrant, inclusive communities.

The event is from 9 -11 am at Marlborough Park Community Centre, 6021 Madigan Dr NE.  Cost is $15 pre-registered, or $20 at the door. 

For anyone involved with immigrants, this event is not to be missed.  You’ll enjoy refreshments provided by EthniCity Catering and have a chance to hear from others who have discovered the keys to providing a warm welcome to Calgary’s newcomers. Visit our website for more info.
