Hi Parents,
Just a little check in and an update for you all as we get closer to Christmas and some special events we have here at WRBC! We are so glad to see so many familiar faces in our program and some new ones too! Welcome to our new families!
This Fall, we’ve been really excited to see our kids be active players in our Bible story time. Our Preschool to Grade 1 kids are loving our interactive Bible Story time – ask them who Topher the Gopher is! They especially loved it when our fun characters mix up the Bible story and they get to be the ones who have to fix it and tell us the story instead! Our Grade 2-4 kids have also been super active during Bible story time by acting it out, solving puzzles or competing for trivia champion status! We love seeing this new way kids are engaging with the Bible.
The kids have been doing SO well practicing their Christmas songs on Sunday mornings with us, and since they are quite catchy tunes, I know you’ll love them too! Check out our song playlist link below to keep practicing at home!
Just in case there was any confusion, ALL kids in Preschool to Grade 4 are welcome to be on stage with us for our Kids Christmas Program on December 14th during the 10:30am church service! Our biggest requirement for participating is making sure that you have filled out our Child Registration Form for this year (Sept 2025 to Aug 2026)!

This form includes the photo permissions we need (Yes, I give permission..) for your kids to be on stage on that Sunday. If you have questions about the photo permission or would like to just give permission for this one event, please email me and I’ll send you an alternate form to fill out.

KIDS AT THE RIDGE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM: Sunday, December 14th during the 10:30am service.
(If you can please sign up to let us know your child will be there for this date, that would be very helpful for us as we are planning our stage layout! https://whyteridgebaptist.breezechms.com/form/kidschristmas2025 – Just an fyi, all the roles for the special music and nativity play have already been assigned so we just need the yes or no if you will be there that Sunday!).
If your child does NOT want to participate on stage with us, they can sit in the service with you that morning to watch and then once our program part is done, parents are welcome to sign in their kids as usual and they can join us for the remainder of the service for some fun activities.

DRESS REHEARSAL: Saturday, December 13th, 10am to noon.
We ask that all our kids participating on stage to attend our FULL DRESS REHEARSAL on Saturday, December 13th. We understand that not everyone can make this rehearsal, so please let me know if you can’t, but this is key to your child feeling confident singing on stage on the Sunday. For those of you that are in the Nativity play or doing special music performances, this is our ONLY chance to practice on stage, so this is a key rehearsal for us! We will provide the kids with a light snack partway through the morning. If your child is part of our special song or the nativity play, we will let you know if you need to come earlier/stay later.
GINGERBREAD BASH! Saturday, December 6th 5:45pm to 7pm – Registration Required!
It’s official, we are about to have a bash… a Gingerbread Bash! We hope you can join us this December 6th for our 4th annual event.
During our event, kids will be making a Gingerbread Nativity, playing some games and hearing the story of Jesus’ birth. This is an amazing family event that we look forward to every year. The event always sells out as space is limited, so PLEASE REGISTER ASAP! https://bit.ly/
