At Prairie Spirit United Church, a number of opportunities exist to help adults grow in their faith as well as opportunities for fellowship.
The Happy Gang
The Happy Gang is an afternoon drop-in for adults that meets at Prairie Spirit United Church from 1:30 – 3:30 pm on the third Thursday of each month (except for July and August).
The purpose is for adults to get together for an afternoon of fun and fellowship by playing table games or card games that are provided or you can bring your own game that you enjoy. This is an opportunity to connect with old friends, meet new people, and enjoy stimulating conversation in pleasant surroundings. Complimentary refreshments are served. If you require a ride, please contact the church office at 204-832-1000 or office@prairiespirituc.org and we will do our best to assist you.
Unit #5 of the United Church Women (UCW)
The UCW’s mission is to love God; foster Christian commitment, faithfulness, and spirituality; and promote respect and love for all God’s creation. Any woman “willing to contribute her prayers, gifts, and services for the work of the Church” may join.
Brief History of the United Church Women
In 1962 the UCW was created as the successor to the Woman’s Missionary Society (WMS), a world mission-oriented service and study group that supported almost 100 active missionaries around the world. The Woman’s Association (WA) at that time focused on work in the local church and community. Guilds and Ladies’ Aids were the WA’s forerunners; in the early years, these units went unrecorded, just doing what needed to be done, spiritually, financially, and socially.
Today, that spirit of generosity continues in active UCWs in congregations and Conferences from coast to coast to coast, united in expressing their devotion to Jesus Christ in Christian witness, study, fellowship, and service.
