Announcements

• Welcome all brothers, sisters, and friends who are worshiping with us today.
• We are thankful for God's special care for Surrey Chinese Baptist Church, having had the privilege of having Pastor Mark and Pastor Margo serving our Mandarin and Cantonese congregations. In the past few months, at the recommendation and request of the Church Council, the work of ordaining Pastor Mark and Pastor Margo has begun, and they have been interviewed and questioned by the ordination council (The council is made up of pastors from our Association as well as lay leaders from our own church). Now the church council is specifically inviting our brothers and sisters at the Surrey Chinese Baptist Church to spend some time in prayer in the coming weeks to discern God's will in ordaining Pastor Mark and Pastor Margo to the Gospel ministry. While they were unanimously recommended by the ordination council, it is the duty of the members of the church to affirm and commission. We will be invited to vote on this decision at the Fall Membership Meeting on October 28, 2024. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Rob or Brother Albert Leung.
• Join us on October 19th for the CNBC WestCoast Annual Meeting! This year, CNBC churches across Canada will gather simultaneously in 7 locations for worship, prayer, and key decision-making. The event runs from 8:30 AM to 2 PM at Richmond Chinese Baptist/Towers Baptist Church.

• Pastor Rob and Jessica will be out of town from September 24 – October 3. Please direct any needs you may have to the church council or to your Sunday School or Fellowship leaders.
