Who Are
We? We are a united group of believing Christians, with
many parts to our united family and many that are created as needs arise. New
groups are born each year through a living active outreach. Four groups that
must be mentioned are listed below
U.C W. Stands
for United Church Women, a group that supports our church
and each other while being productive and having fun. Their spiritual study,
outreach activities, suppers, pie baking, fund raising, and other team efforts
contribute greatly to the churchs welfare and the welfare of others. Their
informal meetings take place monthly at the church.

Alix United Church men gather at different times as the spirit prompts, under
the simple name "Mens Group". When together they share Christian
fellowship and support. The Mens Group is a group that offers an enjoyable
opportunity for men to share and to work together for church and community.

Sunday School is a very
important part of our church. Our Sunday School stresses faith, hope and love of God faith
in the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and living out these beliefs in
our everyday experiences. Emphasis is placed on loving and serving others as
Jesus taught, along with being honest, seeking to be fair and resisting evil.

values.

Our Faith, we believe in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. We put our trust in God who created and who is still creating. For our part we are called to be a uniting church and share the good news of Gods love for the world. We feel prompted to celebrate Gods presence and concern, and to live with respect to it, to love and serve others while resisting evil, and seeking justice for all. Through this journey we are invited to share our faith, proclaiming Jesus as the saviour of the world. Once crucified and then risen Jesus is our hope in this life, in death, and beyond death. Our faith stresses that we are not alone but that God is with us always, as we strive to be with each other. A Christ, uniting faith is what we believe and trust in and what we are most thankful for. It is a fascinating journey and wonderful gift open to all and freely given by God.
The Church is open always to all who seek a place for sanctuary, worship, spiritual support and fellowship. To the community the church is available for weddings, funerals and family social celebrations. To book the church for a special event the contact is, Organist,Muriel Martynuik 747-2643.
The Church Board is made up of individuals from the congregation who offer their time and talent to help guide and direct our church. They do this with the accepted faith that God is their helper. Always open to ideas or events that contribute to the well being of the congregation and community, they are committed Christians. Chairperson, Curt Peterson 747-2584.
"Your" Alix United Church invites all to join this family of believers who are freed by faith and loved by God, free to come and go and certain in the knowledge of being "Children of God"- a family that recognizes that scripture is recorded for us as a gift from God to help us deal with the unfolding times. Guided by the Word and trusting that God is always with us, it is with confidence that we say..
