4HG Youth Oct 29th

Hey 4HG Students and Parents!

Thank you so much for last weeks fun evening! It was awesome to see everyone participate and have a blast!

I know the same will be true tomorrow as we take a bit of a break from our ‘Hot Coals’ Series and step into the missions-field with our Guest Speaker Paoline! She will be coming to us and speaking about what it means to be someone who did not grow up in Canada and share a vision in our Youth about reaching the people around us!

I can’t wait to play games, sing songs, eat snack and listen to God’s word tomorrow! I hope to see you all at the Church at 7pm!

4Hg Hot Coals

Hey you Lovely People!

It is October! The leaves look beautiful, and the wind is getting colder but it’s ok because Sweater Weather is lovely too!

I have talked with a few of you making sure that these emails get to their intended targets, which has been a bit of a mess in the last few weeks. Feel free to give me feedback because I want to make sure you have the right information in a timely manner!

Please make sure to read through the full announcement below:

On October 22nd we are Meeting at ‘Paintball Paradise’ at 7pm.
YOU’LL NEED:
1. FILL OUT THE PAINTBALL WAIVER (printable-waiver-paintball-Paradise), and HAND IN TO ME by October 20th!!!!
2. Make sure you have filled out the 4HG Registration Waiver (https://whyteridgebaptist.breezechms.com/form/beb01342676679) If you have already filled it out for your child you DO NOT have to fill it out again.

We have had an incredibly generous Donor ask to pay for everyone’s Admission, so THIS EVENT IS FREE for you, bring your friends (make sure their waivers are filled out)!!!! If you want to bring some money to pay for more paint (for yourself), you’re welcome to do so, but the Admission covers you for 200 pellets.

Paintball Paradise wants you to know that these are slightly smaller paint pellets, with lower pressure guns, so they do not hurt as much as a regular hit would.
Make sure to dress appropriately for the weather and being outside.

For our weekly gathering on October 15th we are meeting at the Church at 7pm for some Games, Worship, Snack, and Hangout, with some teaching around the questions of how Christians should interact with the world on the topic of Legal Recreational Drugs. Being literate on the questions, dangers, temptations, and misleading information that we hear and how we can make good choices even when others might challenge us on them.

I’m so excited for these conversations and the time spent together, I hope to see you all there!!!!

As always, if you have questions, concerns, comments, or just want to say hi, please do no hesitate to contact me. I love hearing from you!

4HG Youth Update

Hey Parents and Students,

I want to start by apologizing, we have been having some issues on our side with our emails that did not get sent. We are working to make sure you get these every week especially when they contain important updates.  Note that our updates can also be found on the Whyte Ridge Baptist Church Facebook Page and Youth Ministries Facebook Group each week!

SUPER IMPORTANT UPDATE:
On the 22nd of October the goal is to meet at PAINTBALL PARADISE for 7pm until 9pm!
The Cost per Person is $30 (please talk to me privately if that’s an issue)
Please Fill out the waiver (printable-waiver-paintball-Paradise) and hand it into me by October 18th! 

We are digging into some more ethical Questions for this week, and we’re asking why we believe that Christianity IS the right religion, shouldn’t other religions have their say?

Come and let’s have a conversation about that this Friday the 8th of October, we’ll play some games, and worship as well. I hope to see you all there.

Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, comments.

4Hg Hot Coals

Hey Parents and Students,

I’m so excited for Friday night! It has been a great experience getting to know you all, and I hope you find your time at Youth as fulfilling as well.
We’ve taken some time to establish a few foundational aspects for our series, but we are now slowly getting into some of the topics you all asked about.
On Friday we will be digging into Evangelism, what it is, what we are called to, and how it affects us and the people around us. Is it good, bad, right wrong? What does Jesus say?

In a few weeks we are doing an offsite event, more information will be coming next week. Can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!!!

4HG Hot Coals

Hey Peeps!

I am so excited to get going on this series we’re jumping in on!
We’re getting into the weeds a little bit this week as we talk about Right and Wrong!
How can you tell me something is right and what is wrong?
I hope to see you all Friday night at 7pm!

We have some plans for the future so keep your ears to the ground on information coming for the next off-site event!

4Hg Hot Coals for the Fall

Hey Parents and Students of 4HisGlory,

I hope You’re all starting your new School year with excitement and already having awesome experiences! Here at 4HG we want to make sure you get a chance to hang out with Jesus, your leaders, and your friends!

This coming Year we will be dealing with some topics that might be hard for some people. Every week I will be sending out an email with the general topic so you can come each week ready to have a conversation.
Tonight we will actually start by simply talking about HOW we are going to talk about these topics, and more importantly, what God is calling us to in our conversations!

Can’t wait to see you all tonight at 7pm at the Church!

4HG KICKOFF Ya’ll Ready for this?!

Hey You lovely People of Whyte Ridge 4HG!

I hope you had an amazing summer and found some time to prepare for a new year at School, and at Youth! While we had some Youth Things happening throughout the Summer… We Are Back Full Time!

Before we get into it though, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. While we will be in person, we still want to keep everyone safe, this means, Masks inside.
2. For the New Year, we need a new Waiver for you to be able to attend. You will find the new Form Here:  https://whyteridgebaptist.breezechms.com/form/beb01342676679
3. We come to Youth to get to know Jesus and each other better, to do that we want to be respectful, and care about each other’s well-being.

NOW YOU CAN GET EXCITED THOUGH!
This Friday (Sept 10th) we are Meeting at the Maze in Corn (https://goo.gl/maps/bK6uFYVUCHYZjhSQA) at 6:45pm until 9pm! $13 per student above 12 years Old, $11 per Student under 12 years old.
We will run through Corn, pet cute animals, and hang out, have a snack and enjoy each other’s company!

The New Year brings with it an exciting new series of Conversations here at 4HG. A series I’ve called ‘Hot Coals’ in which we will be taking a look at Hard Topics that Society is dealing with and we as Christians should understand from a Biblical Standpoint. Each week I will give a quick overview of the Topic and how we at WRBC understand scripture in those circumstances.

SUMMER YOUTH PLANS!

Hey All,

We’re in July now! I’m so excited to share the summer with you all. We are coming up on another Friday night and as promised I want to make sure everyone is fully aware of what the plans are for their group.

This Friday (July 9th) The Senior High Girls are meeting at the Church for a Paint night at 7pm! Jenny, Christina, and Paola are super excited to see you ladies out there, if you want to bring a chair that would be great.

Next Friday (July 16th) will be our Junior High Boys meeting. Derek and Samuel are working on a plan and that will be sent out next week. Keep your ears to the ground and your nose into the wind for the information coming your way.

The Friday after that on the 23rd, the Junior Girls will be meeting up for some fun that Alexis and Emma are preparing.

As always, if you have questions and comments, please send them my way and I’ll respond to them.

Have an amazing summer everyone!

Rudy

SUMMER YOUTH PLANS!!! Important Updates

Hey All,

We are now in Full Blown Summer. School is done, we can see people again…. life is great!

To make this even better we want to celebrate this together.

There are going to be a few changes as to how we are going to meet so going forward these emails are going to be super important to read!

The plan for the next Two months is that because we can still only have 25 or less people in person outside, we won’t be meeting as a full group.

So every week one of the Small Groups will be meeting in person, and each week I will be sending out an email with what that group will be doing that week.

The Schedule looks like this so far.

Tonight Friday July 2nd – Senior Boys 7pm at the Church
Next week July 9th – Senior Girls 7pm (More information to come)
July 16th – Junior Boys 7pm at the Church
July 23rd – Junior Girls

This is what we are looking at so far. As the time comes I will update the plans, times, and everything you’ll need to know.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and comments.

Youth Night May 28th

Hey All!!!

I can’t believe we are at the end of May already! Spring has come, and if you’re not excited about the lush green nature out there, I hate to say it, but you’re wrong :)

We are on the homestretch to Summer, but that won’t make us forget the importance to care for each other! I hope you’re all feeling cared for, your leaders and I definitely love hearing about your lives, and spending time with each other is super important to us!

Tonight we will be focusing a little bit on change in our lives, and how that change can be tough, but people around us make it worth it!

I hope to see you all at
