Fused: Fused is our midweek program for Grades 5 - 7 students. We meet in the youth room from 7:00 - 8:30pm on Wednesday evenings. We dig into God’s Word, play games, have special events and more. Come check us out and be sure to bring a friend.

Help Wanted: We are looking for a team to help re-level parts of the brick walkways. This would require either a couple of evenings or a Saturday morning. Please see Sheilagh at the Connection Centre or email sheilagh@ridgebaptist.ca if you are able to help.
Seniors’ Lunch: The next Seniors’ Lunch will be held on Friday, April 22 at noon in the lower auditorium. All are welcome.

Operation Christmas Child: All Year Around! The MRBC OCC Ministry Action Team are challenging you! Imagine if everyone from MRBC bought just one item per month, what a difference that would be!
The OCC items for April are toys for interaction – balls, ball pumps, balloons, baseball gloves, dominoes, jacks, puzzles, skipping ropes or small games.
Please drop off your items in the OCC bin in the lobby. Thanks you for making a difference in the lives of children around the world.
Pastor Shawn: Today is Pastor Shawn’s last day, so please join us in the lobby after the service for cake and coffee/tea and to wish Shawn and Amanda well in their future endeavors.
