4HG June 10th

Hey People!

I wanted to make sure that you remember that there is NO YOUTH tonight. For the Summer we are doing things slightly different, so here is what you’ll need to know.

July 1st – Canada Day No Youth
July 8th – Junior Girls Night
July 15th – Junior Boys Night
July 22nd – Senior Girls Night
July 29th – Senior Boys Night
August 5th – WATERFIGHT (For everyone!)
August 12th – No Youth
August 19th – Junior Youth Canoeing
August 26th – Senior Youth Canoeing
September 2nd – Youth Movie Night
September 7th – Youth Kickoff the New Year!

If you are bored and would like to do more hanging out thorughout the week in the summer, please send me a message that you’d be interested in something like that, because I’d like to make the Church Property available for games and s’mores on Wednesday Nights occasionally through the Summer. If that sounds like something you’d be into, let’s make it happen!

Have an amazing Summer everyone, I hope You find some rest and can relax a bit!

To Whom it may Concern,

You are sincerely invited to our 4HG Movie Award Show and Ceremony. Friday, the 17th of June, we will be hosting the legendary actors and actresses of WRBC 4HG! Please plan to arrive by 7pm, the dress code is Fancypants!

We are closing out the school year tomorrow with some fun movies you created, will eat pizza, hang out in small groups, talk about bringing Jesus with us into our summers and how we can stay connected. You’ll get a schedule for the summer that will have all the information on it so you’re never behind.

Next week there won’t be Youth, as your Leaders will take an evening to talk about the year and what the plans for the new year will be. So come tomorrow, bring your friends, and tell your parents to pick you up late ;) Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Hey People!

As you are probably aware…. Summer is upon us! I can’t tell you how excited I am about this awesome weather! For tonight we want to make full use of this, so we will be doing an event that is slightly different from our regular scheduling. Tonight will be ‘Make Your Own Movie Night’ and basically what this will look like is that you’ll get into groups and created a movie from start to finish, which we will watch next Week! All the details will still come, just know that this won’t be made available online so make sure to come tonight and next week! Bring your friends and lets enjoy each others company in the knowledge that God is in the centre of all of this! Can’t wait to see you all tonight at 7pm at the Church!

Hey Peeps!!!

I can’t believe it’s JUNE!!! We are coming toward the end of the School year and I’m sure you’re all wondering how the Summer is going to go. I will send out a schedule for the summer so you can make your plans accordingly :D I know you’re all making sure that Youth is the highest priority on your list ;)
Know that there will be enough things that will be happening that you won’t miss us too much.

For this Friday we will be meeting at the church at 7pm for an awesome time with an interesting story, awesome snacks… and obviously time to hang out with each other! Can’t wait to see all ya’ll!

4HG May 27th

WE’RE BACK!!!!

Tonight we are at Youth and ready to enjoy an awesome night of Community, Music, Jesus, and Snacks. Hope you’re as excited as I am to enjoy this beautiful weather and each other’s company.

We will be at the Church from 7pm to 9pm!

If you want or need any more information please contact me!

4HG - May 20 (No Youth)

Hey All!

I know that this headline is super disappointing. No youth! Tragedy. It’s for good reason though!
This coming Friday, our registered Senior High Youth (please contact me if you have a question regarding this) are heading to Camp Nutimik for the weekend. Information will be below.
Youth will resume on May 27th as normal. Hope to see you then!

Youth Retreat Information you’ll need to know:

Bus arrives at WRBC at 5:15pm on Friday (May 20th) to pick us up leaving for Camp Nutimik, EAT BEFORE YOU GET THERE. We won’t have supper at Camp when we get there that night.

Bus will return to WRBC at 3:30pm on Sunday, for you to be picked up by your Parents. We will make sure Parents get a phone call from their child once we are within 30 minutes of arriving back at the church.

There will be an update email once we get to camp for you parents to feel safe in knowing that we will have arrived, and an update once we leave camp as well.

If you have any more questions, comments, concerns, please contact me today or tomorrow and I will do my best to help with those.

4HG May 6

Hello dear Reader,

It has been a long time since you’ve received any word from us, (at least 3 days), so here I am, ready to inform you of the brand-new things that are happening at 4HG Youth.

TONIGHT: Come and spend time with your friends and potential future friends, as we play games, sing songs, listen to God speak, eat snack, and spend valuable time with our small groups tonight! At the church at 7pm! Be there!

Upcoming Events:

Camp Nutimik Worship Night- Happens Next Friday (13th) at WRBC Church, there will be lots of people some of whom you’ve probably met, some who will be awesome to get to know. Lets come and worship together! (7pm)

Camp Nutimik Retreat- On May 20th the senior Youth (Grade 9-12) will be meeting at the Church at 5pm to take the Bus out to Camp Nutimik for an awesome time of connection, being out in God’s creation, worship and so much more. We will return back to the Church on Sunday the 22nd of May around 3pm.
TECHNICALLY the Deadline has passed, but because there were some issues with the registration form, if you LET ME KNOW THAT YOU’RE COMING BY TONIGHT, I will mark you down. The proper registration form is found HERE. If you could simply send me a message with a “____ will be there” that would be fantastic.

Thank you for your Patience,
Rudy

Important Update for the Retreat Registration

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ!

Hey Parents and people who are planning to go on the retreat in May,

Over the last few weeks the link that went out for the registration form to sign up for the Senior Retreat was faulty. This has probably left some of you scratching your head and I apologize for this oversight.

Here is the proper link, please fill out the form and get it to me when you can, I understand that is easier said than done, so for now if you could just let me know that you are coming so i can make sure we have enough space on the bus and in the cabins, and then get the form to me once it’s filled out, that would be amazing.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience, I know some of you have handed the right form in to me, but if you could simply send me a message with a “____ will be there” that would be fantastic.

Thank you for your Patience.

Rudy

Hey All,

I hope you all remembered that tonight we are at MISSION FEST @ Church of the Rock. This means we will NOT meet at WRBC. We will be meeting at 6:45pm in the front entrance of Church of the Rock where I will sign you in and give you some instructions for the night.
There will be some awesome booths with information about missions around the world; we’ll be in the session that starts at 7. The booths close at 9:15 and if you are getting picked up you’ll have to let me know that you’re leaving so I can make sure no-one gets left behind. Feel free to direct any question toward me.

Parents:
We are coming out of the Ice, restrictions are loosened and we are excited to take steps to rebuild some of the pieces we have lost. As small as it might sound, Youth-Snack is a big part of our community building. It allows us to be casual and relaxed with one another and be part of each other’s lives. If you have in the past, or are now thinking about how you might be able to contribute to that joy, please contact Erika Cooper: erikacooper0101@gmail.com to find out how you can support our Youth in this.

4HG Youth February 25th

Hey You all,

Coming out of the Deepfreeze this week I noticed that the Sun seemed slightly stronger! I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I’m thinking of planning outside events.

For this week however we will still be inside I think.

We will be digging into what Baptism is. I hope you can all make it on Friday at 7pm. Make sure you bring your Bible and be ready for some awesome conversations in your small-group!

Coming on March 18th we will be having a Junior Youth Retreat day for anyone in Grade 6-8.

April 1st will be our MBA Worship Night for the churches of our association to get together at Whyte Ridge to glorify God.

I’m in conversation with Camp Nutimik to plan a Retreat for our Senior Youth to go out there possibly in May. More info to follow on that.

Stay warm!

4HG Youth February 11th

Hey Peeps!!!!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be in the big group again tonight!
We will be playing games in the gym, worshipping together, having snack, and being in small group!
Hope to see you all there!
I’ll be sending out more information on both the Junior Retreat Day and the April MBA Worship night soon. Feel free to ask questions you might have that I can answer in those info-dumps.

I want to acknowledge that our Youth nights have recently gone longer than 9pm even though that is the official end time. This is usually because the kids absolutely love the use of the gym and the ability to spend time with their friends. If you would like to comment on this, please let me know if this is an issue that we should be addressing. I would love your feedback on this.

4HG Youth February 4th

Hey Students and Parents!

We are so excited by the new health Orders, which will be in effect for next week. However, this week we will still be in cohorts for Youth. We will be meeting at 7pm on February 4th for an amazing time of Worship, games, and Small group. Can’t wait to see you all there!

Upcoming Events:
We are planning a Retreat Day for the Junior Youth come March. More information to follow.

April 1st, we will be getting together with the other MBA Youth Groups around Winnipeg for a Worship night. The Event will be happening at WRBC!
