Watch this special video message from Pastor Bruce (& a Furry Friend). Watch HERE.
 

Are you wondering what your favorite ministry is doing this year? Looking for a place to serve? Come and visit our ministry tables and find a place to connect with others. You’ll meet some of our wonderful volunteers!

“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) 

Sign up this Sunday for a FirstServe opportunity –  Is there a position in the church you were wondering if you would like to serve? Would you like to join the Office team, help people prepare for worship as an usher on Sundays or help keep our church building in top condition?  The list is HUGE and you will be able to explore these options in the days ahead. When you sign up for a FirstServe 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!  Pick up a FirstServe card at our Ministry Fair on Sunday! 

Reminder to Ministry Volunteers setting up for the Ministry Fair— Please set up at church  between 9 am & 7 pm Sept 11-13(Wed—Friday) so tables will be ready to go for 10am on Sunday.

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.

The Lead Pastor Search Team
