To acquire a unified vision and direction in building up the people of God, servant leaders' from the Surrey 2 Chapter led by Jim Diaz huddled one January night and revisited the highlights of the retreat held in Squamish, BC last October. It was an informal gathering opened with vigorous praise and worship and capped off by a short but jovial fellowship.
As a vine grows in full bloom with the splendour of its leaves and branches, the Surrey 2 Chapter has grown to be one of CFC Greater Vancouver Area's largest chapters with over 200 active members encompassing five parishes in Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford. Like the plant that is occasionally pruned to ensure optimal growth, we too are pruned in order to give rise to a new chapter in Abbotsford, BC. The tasks ahead will be daunting for the two chapters as they start and pick up courses of action for continuous evangelization work, but with your prayers and commitment, the ride will be smooth-sailing.
Like all the chapters in the GVA, the Surrey 2 Chapter will now be known as St. Matthew, named after the parish it is based off of. Abbotsford will be named St. Ann. God bless us all.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8
