Tri-district Chinese Focus groups from Margaret Ave church, Willowdale church, original Port Credit church, and Niagara Fall/Hamilton churches gathered together at Margaret Ave church on Sunday afternoon of Feb. 4, 2018 to celebrate the Chinese New Year of Dog. The celebration started at 2PM first with a Divine Service held by Ev. Zhu in Chinese with Bible text from Romans 13:7 “Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.” Obedience to the Lord and the government was the main theme with emphasis of New Apostolic Church’s tenth Article of Faith. The Service was assisted by Ev. Truong in English, who briefly summarized Ev. Zhu’s Service potion. Deacon Yang and two Deacon Wang were called to assist in Chinese. Finally, Pr. Connor prepared for the Holy Communion.

The Service was followed by the Chinese New Year celebration organized and conducted by Deacon Yang and sister Xu. The celebration lasted over one and half hours with 16 performances from various different families and individuals. Finally, total of 74 brothers, sisters, and friends participated and enjoyed the traditional Chinese Dumping potluck fellowship together, including 7 ministers and 18 guests. Everyone was very joyful and felt richly blessed by receiving both spiritual and natural foods from our Heavenly Father in His house!
