4HG Youth September 20th

Hey All!

Thank you for sticking with us last week when we had to pivot last minute and move the event. I’m really excited for this new year and all the things that we’ll get a chance to do.

We decided to move the Corn-maze event to this week as we still want to give you that opportunity to be outside for a bit before winter comes and it gets cold. So this Friday (September 20th) we are meeting at the Corn-maze at 6:30pm til 8:30pm.!

If you haven’t registered for Youth please do that here (https://whyteridgebaptist.breezechms.com/form/beb01342676679956659)

If you’re wanting to come to the Corn-Maze event, please fill out this (https://whyteridgebaptist.breezechms.com/form/39b61f65497414) form additionally.

Upcoming Events:

September 27 – In-House Night
October 4 – Service Night
October 11 – In-House Night
October 18 – UGM Worship Night

Update from Lead Pastor Search Team

Members of our Lead Pastor Search Team have enjoyed a more relaxed pace over the summer and we are all grateful for your ongoing prayer support. The job has been posted for over a month and we have received a few applications, none of which meet the expectations of the position. We continue to fervently pray that the ONE whom God is preparing will see our job posting and apply for the Lead Pastor position at our church.

We are extremely grateful to God for providing Pastor Bruce to lead us through this transition and this gives us increased patience and assurance that God will provide our next Lead Pastor in His timing.

The Search Team will continue to meet regularly to refine the next steps in the process: how to conduct reference checks, interviews and a candidacy weekend. We will also finalize the contents of the Congregation and Community Information package that will be provided to the eventual candidate who is selected for more detailed follow up. Please pray that we would be diligent in preparing for these next steps, even as we wait patiently to receive the application(s) which merit their implementation.

We desire that we all, as members and congregants of Whyte Ridge Baptist Church, would pray for the person that God is preparing to send us as our next Lead Pastor, that they would see our job posting and be inspired to send us their resume. Our job posting is available on our church website – if anyone knows of someone they believe would be qualified and a good fit for this position, please make them aware of it. We greatly value your patience and prayers as we wait on God’s timing and His provision in this regard.

Thank you.

4HG Youth Kick-Off September 13th

Welcome to Youth of Whyte Ridge Baptist Church,

You are getting this email because you are connected to 4HG (for His glory), whether you are an attending student, you have a child who is a student, or you are a volunteer.

Welcome to everyone who is new, and welcome back to those who have been getting these emails before. My goal is for you to receive an email every week regarding the plan for that Friday and a few weeks in advance; that way if for some reason, you do not get an email that week, you can refer back to an older email. As a general rule, if there was no information regarding that Friday night, expect Youth to happen.

I’m really excited for this year and what we will be exploring. From September to December we will be collecting questions that we have, and working on answering those from a biblical point of view.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”   

(I Peter 4:10

FirstServe opportunities Coming Soon!  Is there a position in the church you were wondering if you would like to serve? Anywhere from serving coffee, running the sound booth, checking in our children on Sundays? The list is HUGE and you will be able to explore these options in the days ahead. When you sign up for a First Serve opportunity, you will be matched up with a volunteer in the area you are interested in so you can see first-hand what that role is all about. After trying it one time, you then decide if you want to continue the process to join that team or try something else!  More details to come . . . 


Update from Board of Church Governance: The Board of Church Governance would like to thank the following members of the Celebration Team for their dedication and perseverance:

Lorraine Barton (co-chair), Shirley Gagnon (co-chair), George Giesbrecht, Grettel Gonzalez, Matt Nobess, Sonya Sawatsky and Shirley Wynne. Their efforts culminated in an official recognition of Pastor Terry and Pat Janke’s lifetime of service, and specifically for their 15 years of ministry at Whyte Ridge Baptist Church. If you missed that service on Sunday, August 18, it is available through our website. This team was officially dismissed by the Board at the end of that service, with gratitude for the great job they had done in fulfilling their responsibilities. The Board would also like to express their appreciation to the many others who supported the Celebration Team and contributed to a wonderful retirement celebration.

We will also teach you a couple of our favorite songs and share a slideshow of pictures from our VBS week too!    We had such a great week learning to be Space Rangers on a special mission for God’s glory!  We learned that God is FAITHFUL and gives us the courage to face the great unknown in our lives Every. Single. Day. We can’t wait to share some of our week with you on Sunday!

Katy’s YFC Ministry Adventure

Greetings Church Family!

I am currently in a campaign to raise 100% of my financial support to be able to continue in my role as Ministry Director of Turning Point Counselling with Youth for Christ Winnipeg. For more details, please read the following letter from my Supervisor. Thanks for your continued support!

Katy Mesics

 

Dear Friends and Family of Katy Mesics,

I am happy to let you know that Katy’s ministry continues to thrive! My name is Ashley Klassen and I am a Senior Ministry Director for YFC Winnipeg. 

I have seen first-hand the extraordinary impact that Katy’s ministry has had on so many young lives through the power of Jesus Christ, and I am profoundly grateful for her dedication to the youth of Winnipeg.

As you may know, Katy raises support to be able to do the work that she does. For this reason, I am continually astounded at Katy’s level of commitment, and can attest to the fact that this component of ministry can be quite challenging. Oftentimes, support for ministry workers can begin to ebb, as it has for Katy.

We are beginning a campaign for Katy to raise $3,100 each month in order for her essential ministry to get fully funded. If you currently support Katy, thank you for your faithfulness! 

If you have not yet joined her support team and would like to, or you desire to increase your support, would you become a monthly partner with YFC Winnipeg—Katy’s support—by filling out the form enclosed? 

To give online, go to this link: https://yfc.ca/winnipeg/team/katy-mesics/ 

It would be an incredible encouragement to Katy if you would support her before she reaches out to you. Thanks in advance and may God bless you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Ashley Klassen 

Senior Ministry Director | Youth for Christ Winnipeg
