Baby Formula Needed for Family Support Centre

The Family Support Centre of Winnipeg is a volunteer agency that has been offering support to women, children, and families in our community for 40 years. They are committed to providing ongoing care for clients facing unexpected difficulties and hardship. Their services are intended to provide practical assistance to help meet the needs of families and their children. All of their peer counselling and services are offered free of charge by their compassionate team of staff and volunteers.

Whyte Ridge Baptist Church is a drop-off location for baby formula which is then taken to Family Support Centre to share with their clients. We also except new baby items for layettes which are given to moms. The centre also supplies maternity clothing for moms and clothes for older children up to age 2. Only new or gently used clothing is distributed to the clients and their children. 

Family Support Centre is a Partner Ministry of Whyte Ridge Baptist Church and we want to support them in as many ways as possible. If you are interested in this ministry or have questions, please contact our Church Partner Rep, Debbie, at the church office for more information.

A Big Thank You!

On behalf of Far Corners Ministry, we would like to express our sincere thanks for the generous support of the Whyte Ridge Baptist church family in 2025!  We recently received your year-end gift that will once again this year support the education of children of pastors who would not be able to provide better quality schooling or tutoring for their children.  Thank you for the trust that you put us as we support pastors and churches in northeast India.  We covet your continued prayer support for all of our partners serving in India.

Sincerely, Shant & Ginny Manuel

At Come to the Table (CTTT), each meal is made fresh in our WRBC Kitchen by our own church family.

Our desire is to create a space for our church family to get to know one another casually over a shared meal (It helps that we put on name tags as we enter our auditorium!).

This winter we are trying something new with CTTT.  Instead of having a weekly meal each Wed till Easter (10 suppers), we’ve decided to have CTTT the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month until May 6th (8 meals)!

This change will allow us to enjoy CTTT into the spring while lessening the load of our Kitchen teams.

If you’re interested, we’d love to have you join one of our four CTTT Kitchen teams (generally serving twice a season). Just express your desire to a kitchen staff and they’ll help make the needed connections from there.

At CTTT, you’re always welcome – but never expected . . . join us whenever you can. We’d love to share this experience with you. We encourage you to invite your friends and family to join us so that they can experience the love of God among us as well.

In order to help us order the proper amount of food, we ask that you register for each meal the Sunday prior. And if you forget to register, still join us as we always prepare for a few walk-ins.
