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.

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

4HG Youth Canoeing Night - Friday, August 16

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).

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!

Update: 4HG Youth Summer Plans

Hey All, 

Don’t miss out on our next 4HG event! We will be having a water fight on July 26!!

A reminder that we will NOT be meeting for most of the Summer as there is a lot happening outside of youth. We will have TWO EVENTS that you’re invited to even if you have already graduated or are just coming into youth this year!

July 26th – Waterfight!!!
August 16th –  Canoeing at Fort Whyte

Please continue to connect with people in your small groups, show each other that you care about each other.
