Three weeks after the 22nd CFC-Youth International Conference in Surigao, Philippines, a few brothers of the West Sector of the Greater Toronto Area, met up in downtown Toronto for an evening of worship and fellowship…

A simple gathering of brothers from all over the GTA, Mississauga, and Brampton at Queen’s Park in downtown Toronto. Metro West Sector Head, Niccolo Arboleda, led a WAP (Worship At the Park) inspired by an experience from Surigao. WAP is a practice held by the local YFCs every Wednesday where they sing songs of praise and worship at a park.

With inspired readings on brotherhood, camaraderie, and resilience in mission, the evening ended off with a dinner fellowship at a nearby Korean restaurant.

As the group breaks off for the commute home, the experience of being in the company of one another, regardless of time or distance, is a reminder of what the community of CFC is built upon; the human connection within the divine. Whether it be worshipping at a public space or cracking jokes while eating Korean chicken wings, faith and community is built through relationships. The West Sector brothers WAP is definitely the first of more to come.
