Young Adult Group: “Shaping Your Year”
How are you integrating your faith into 2026?
Who: Young adults (ages 18–30ish)
When: Sunday, December 28th from 7 - 9 pm
Where: Basement meeting room — enter through the Soul Cellar Door at the back of the church (Southeast corner). Look for the sign.
Looking to unpack your faith, ask hard questions, or explore a more inclusive and authentic spirituality? This is a safe, welcoming space for young adults to wrestle with beliefs, share stories, and deepen their understanding of what it means to live in Christ-like love today. One of our ministers will be on hand to help with the discussion and working through questions.
Each gathering includes a short hands-on activity or song to help everyone feel comfortable, followed by open group discussion. We’ll start with a question box, explore Bible verses or parables connected to the theme, and draw on contemporary examples—from TikToks and YouTube videos to books, poems, and real-life stories.
Come as you are—curious, questioning, or confident—and join a community that values conversation, inclusivity, and growth.
This group hopes to meet twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. All are welcome. Learn more about this group by visiting their webpage.

(Red Deer Lake) Advent Palates – A Five-Week Journey
We are thrilled to invite you to an upcoming opportunity to deepen your spiritual life and connect with others at Red Deer Lake, McDougall, and Ogden United churches. Building on the October event, Rev. Cox will offer a five-week program called Advent Palates.
Event Two: Advent Palates – A Five-Week Journey
Dates: Five Wednesdays in November (starting November 5)
Location: Red Deer Lake United Church
Time: 5:45 - 7:45 pm
Cost: $60 for all sessions
Each evening will include:
A shared meal (different themed dishes each week).
Scripture, poetry, and contemporary reflections on Advent.
Casual table conversation to help us unpack the deeper meaning of these themes.
A creative exercise that invites participants to explore spiritual questions through images, symbols, and storytelling.
This program is not just for artists—it is for anyone who wants to engage spirituality in a fresh way. Those who already have a deep faith will find new insights, while those who are spiritually curious (sometimes called “spiritual but not religious”) will find a safe and engaging space to explore.
Rev. Cox has successfully led this type of programming in the past, jokingly referring to it as “Bible study with training wheels.” It has proven to be a wonderful way of deepening the spirituality of church members while also drawing in those from the wider community.
Registration is required for this program. Want to attend weekly? No problem! Click the button below and select the week you would like to register for, cost is $15 per a week.

Young Adult Group Discussion
Young Adult Group: Group Discussion
An evening of open, honest conversation about the importance of asking questions regarding faith, how to support each other when going through times of doubt and exploring how our faith answers some tough questions!
Who: Young adults (ages 18–30ish)
When: Sunday, November 23rd from 7 - 9 pm
Where: Basement meeting room — enter through the Soul Cellar Door at the back of the church (Southeast corner). Look for the sign.
Looking to unpack your faith, ask hard questions, or explore a more inclusive and authentic spirituality? This is a safe, welcoming space for young adults to wrestle with beliefs, share stories, and deepen their understanding of what it means to live in Christ-like love today. One of our ministers will be on hand to help with the discussion and working through questions.
Each gathering includes a short hands-on activity or song to help everyone feel comfortable, followed by open group discussion. We’ll start with a question box, explore Bible verses or parables connected to the theme, and draw on contemporary examples—from TikToks and YouTube videos to books, poems, and real-life stories.
Come as you are—curious, questioning, or confident—and join a community that values conversation, inclusivity, and growth.
This group hopes to meet twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. All are welcome. Learn more about this group by visiting their webpage.
