Kids at the Ridge VBS SHARING & SLIDESHOW – THIS SUNDAY AT 10:30am

During the morning worship service, we want to share with our church family and parents the highlights of our week at VBS this summer. We will also teach you a couple of our favorite songs and share a slideshow of pictures from our VBS week too!    We had such a great week learning to be Space Rangers on a special mission for God’s glory!  We learned that God is FAITHFUL and gives us the courage to face the great unknown in our lives Every. Single. Day. We can’t wait to share some of our week with you on Sunday!  

This service will NOT be livestreamed this Sunday. Please join us in person! 

FYI – We are still in Summer Programming mode for our Sunday services until our Kids Official Kick Off Sunday on September 8th.   
Our Nursery room is open for babies up to age 2 and we will also have our Preschool & Kindergarten classroom open for kids age 5 and under.  The Preschoolers will be dismissed to their classes AFTER our VBS Slideshow (Parents must accompany them to check-in).  Older kids will remain in the service with their parents. We have two Kids Craft Carts available at the entrance doors that are filled with coloring pages and an activity for the elementary kids!  We hope you’ll be able to join us!

Where has God called you to “contribute to His Church” ?  Plan to visit our Whyte Ridge Baptist Church Ministry Fair – Sunday(s) September 15 & 22 following the morning service. Check out the ministry tables to see what is happening this fall in our church ministries and explore new opportunities to serve and connect with others in our church family.

Update from Lead Pastor Search Team: The job opportunity has been posted and the Search Team has met to refine the evaluation process to be used to screen resumes. Please continue to pray that we would hear and follow God’s guidance and direction as we work through this process.

Please also 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 drawn to us. Give thanks to God that He has provided Pastor Bruce to give us leadership through this transition period, giving us peaceful reassurance that we can wait on God’s timing to provide His best for us.

Katy's YFC Ministry Adventure

Greetings Church Family!

I am currently in a campaign to raise 100% of my financial support to be able to continue in my role as Ministry Director of Turning Point Counselling with Youth for Christ Winnipeg. For more details, please read the following letter from my Supervisor. Thanks for your continued support!

Katy Mesics

Dear Friends and Family of Katy Mesics,

I am happy to let you know that Katy’s ministry continues to thrive! My name is Ashley Klassen and I am a Senior Ministry Director for YFC Winnipeg. 

I have seen first-hand the extraordinary impact that Katy’s ministry has had on so many young lives through the power of Jesus Christ, and I am profoundly grateful for her dedication to the youth of Winnipeg.

As you may know, Katy raises support to be able to do the work that she does. For this reason, I am continually astounded at Katy’s level of commitment, and can attest to the fact that this component of ministry can be quite challenging. Oftentimes, support for ministry workers can begin to ebb, as it has for Katy.

We are beginning a campaign for Katy to raise $3,100 each month in order for her essential ministry to get fully funded. If you currently support Katy, thank you for your faithfulness! 

If you have not yet joined her support team and would like to, or you desire to increase your support, would you become a monthly partner with YFC Winnipeg—Katy’s support—by filling out the form enclosed? 

To give online, go to this link: https://yfc.ca/winnipeg/team/katy-mesics/ 

It would be an incredible encouragement to Katy if you would support her before she reaches out to you. Thanks in advance and may God bless you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Ashley Klassen 

Senior Ministry Director | Youth for Christ Winnipeg
