Happy Friday! 

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.  If you had not yet had opportunity to review this information or to fill out the Youth Registration Form 2024-25 today! 

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.

If you want to be part of 4HG make sure to fill out our Yearly Registration form that you can find here (Youth Registration Form 2024-25)

Youth Calendar:

September 13th: Youth Kick-off at the Cornmaze – Register HERE.

September 20th: YIH (Youth In-House) Starting the Theme for the Year “Questions and Answers”

September 27th: YIH

Hey All,

Hope you’re signed up for our event this Friday evening. If you are not yet, please contact me ASAP. It’s $20 a person and we are meeting at 6:15 at Fort Whyte Alive on McCreary Road.  Here are the two forms you will need to fill out ON-Water-Waiver-2 and this one here.  If possible, get these forms to Rudy before the event.

Here is the info you need to make sure you’re getting where you need to go.

When arriving, we need everyone to park in the staff parking lot. When entering off of McCreary, drive past the farm, past the overflow parking, and past the regular parking lot – to the left of the main building (the Alloway Reception Centre), there is a gate. This gate will open when you drive close to it. Drive straight for about 50 meters, past the sod house, past the fork in the road to go to the “Siobhan Richardson Field Station” – you should now be in the staff parking lot (it is a long skinny lot with a grassy area in front it and the Richardson Interpretive Centre to the South). This is the parking lot where you will meet Brahm, the staff person, and the volunteers. Try to have your group arrive as close to 6:30 as possible.

There is a wedding ceremony rehearsal in the Alloway Reception Centre, so please make sure nobody goes through this building or parks in the main parking lot.

Once the whole group has arrived in the staff parking lot, everyone will go to the paddling location together (about a 6 minute walk). There will be no building access, so make sure people bring a water bottle if they want one. There are porta-potties where you are paddling, so washroom access will be available. We currently only have 1 staff and 1 volunteer (I am waiting to hear back from a few more) so it is unlikely we will be able to do a full paddle instructional program, but Brahm is very experienced and will be happy to help out as much as possible. You will have full access to the canoes and kayaks, so people should be able to get a good taste of what there is to offer.

Once the paddling is over at 8:30, the group will walk back to the parking lot together and Brahm will unlock the gate to let people out (and relock after everyone).

Hey All,

I can’t wait to see you this week as we have one of our Summer Events on Friday July 26th! Make sure you come ready for some water games, bring a change of clothes and a towel if you’re worried you’ll get soaked! We’ll have snack and time to just hang out as well!

I’m also excited to invite our new Youth for this event as well, so if you’re going into Gr. 6 this fall you’re welcome to join us!

Where: The Church (outside)
When: 7pm-9pm
What: Waterfight
Feel free to bring some waterguns of your own!

Hey Hey!

It is the end of the school year! We have celebrated our grads, and we’re slowly saying ‘hello’ to Summer! This coming Friday will be the last regular Youth Event until the fall. BUT that is not something to be sad about, we will have two big events coming this Summer. We will have a water fight, and some canoeing happening.

For this Friday, we will meet, we’ll eat some Pizza, we’ll spend time as small groups to share some plans for the summer, and getting a chance to pray for one another. I hope you can all make it there!

Upcoming:

July 26th – Water Fight
August 16th – Canoeing at Fort Whyte
September 6th – Youth Kickoff
End of September (date tbd) – MBA Youth Retreat at Camp Nutimik! (Registrations will be available soon!)

Hey Peeps!

Hope you’re doing well this lovely end of Spring/ beginning of Summer!
This week we are missing a few of our lovely leaders and students, but this will not stop us from enjoying being together!

6:45pm! Here at the Church, outside, and inside games… hope to see you all here, best day to bring a friend tbh!

Hey All,

We have a pretty special evening this week for youth because we will have Jared share his testimony, AND we also have Bruce Hollins join us as a visitor. Bruce is a potential interim Pastor for our church as Pastor Terry retires this year. Bruce wanted to get to know us, and I hope you want to get to know him.

We have some exciting things coming up as well, so make sure you put these events in your calendar:

April 26th: Family Night! Last one of the Year, DO NOT MISS THIS! Always an amazing place to meet people and friends, and just go nuts with some sports and awesome snacks

May 17th: Flying Squirrel!

Hey All,

For Youth this week we will be meeting at the church for an Inhouse with some great stories, snacks, games, and Jesus. Can’t wait to see you on Friday at 6:45pm! Feel free to bring your friends and their friends.

UPcoming Events:

April 19, we will have a special guest join us, his name is Bruce Hollins, and I will explain his presence next week.

April 26, we have our Spring Family Night, where EVERYONE is invited, You, your family, your friends, your grandparents…. just bring everyone :D

I will not be at youth from April 25th to May 11th, but you’ll be in the best hands throughout that time, and you’ll have an amazing time no doubt!

Hey Peeps,

Thank you so much for your response toward the video that was shot last week, the team is already hard at work in editing it, but if you have any concerns please let me know so i can let the team know.

This week, we are meeting at Abundant Life Baptist Church (1396 Plessis Rd) for Camp Nutimik Worship Night! I hope we’ll see you all for that night there! (if you need a ride, please let me know)

Upcoming: Friday the 29th, there will be NO YOUTH, because of Good Friday! But we will be back for the first Friday of April.

Hey Everyone!

Please make sure to read the entire email as there is some vital information for this week in it.

We are meeting for a regular night tomorrow at the church at 6:45, BUT we are building a video for our church to see what Youth is like and how they can be a part of what we do in different ways. This means that some of the kids and leaders will be in the video. This video will be shown at church AND be posted on our website. We do send a registration out every year where you sign off on whether you are comfortable to have your kids shown on our social media, but this is a step further where this video will be use for promotional use.

If you could do me a massive favour and either send me an email, a text, or simply call me, and let me know if that is ok or not for your kids, that would be helpful. This is simply another step of transparency beyond the form that you signed at the beginning of the year.

We also have a Camp Nutimik Worship Night coming up next week (Mar 22nd) at Abundant Life Baptist Church (1396 Plessis Rd). If there is a need for car-pooling please make me aware so we can plan for that.

Hope to see you all at these events!

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to Second Winter ;)

Do not worry I saw some geese and it’s staying light out later, spring is on its way!
