The crest is designed in the form of a St. Andrew's Cross with an insignia in each of the four corners. The X at the centre, the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, is a traditional symbol for Christ. Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28-30. The oval shape of the United Church Crest is derived from the outline of a fish, a symbol of identity by early Christians. The initials of the words Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour spell the Greek word for fish.

Greetings to you all!
Minister Dong-Chun Seo

It is already September!

I hope you have enjoyed a wonderful summer time with a lot of new experiences and excitements. Summer is thought to be not only a time to have fun but also a time to discover something new -- to grow spiritually as well as physically. I hope we will make some time to share our summer experiences and continue to help each other grow.

Wishing you blessings during the autumn season.September is the month that marks the beginning of fall. It is the season of a new beginnings at school, meeting new friends and teachers, choosing new subjects and activities. It is also the time to renew relationships with old friends who have been absent on their summer holidays. With these renewals, we also come to the time to prepare for the harvest. When we walk or drive in the countryside we see the golden waves of grain waiting for the farmer’s experienced touch.

In our church we also have a lot of exciting new things during the fall season. I encourage you to enjoy and to be gladly involved in the richness of our church life and works.

Through your participation, sharing and commitment, we will be able to keep our church healthy and maintain strong relationships with God and with each other, to grow a meaningful faith community, and to continue our fruitful ministry.

May God bless you and your family in this season of renewal.

Your minister,
Rev. Dong-Chun Seo

The Olds United Church is a beautiful facility and was built during the ministry of Reverend Jack Towers and dedicated on September 11, 1960. It involved great congregational involvement in planning, construction, and financing.

Dear sisters and brothers,
I remind you that whether you plan to stay in this community or go out somewhere during this autumn, remember those who continue to pray for you and hope you will return to share with us your various experiences and meaningful stories. I hope you will enjoy these fall months with a healthy body, sound mind and strong presence of the Holy Spirit!

We are loved and called by God to live as God's faithful people in this land, now and always.
The United Church of Canada has issued an emergency appeal in response to the flooding in Pakistan. Funds are being used by United Church partners ACT Alliance and Canadian Foodgrains Bank for immediate relief and longterm accompaniment.As Christians and people of good will, we are called to respond to crises such as the current flooding in Pakistan as generously as we can, both individually and as a community. Many news reports, however, suggest that donations have been slow in coming, especially in comparison to the January earthquake in Haiti. This short background paper offers some context for United Church people who are asking why.

How to get here
From Highway 27, go south on 48th Avenue, and turn right (west) onto 50th Street. The large parking lot is just west of the church. Olds United Church is located on the corner of 48th Avenue and 50th Street, just a couple of blocks west of Olds College. Click the map for an enlargement.

The United Church is the largest Protestant denomination in Canada with a rich history closely entwined with the development of Canada itself. We believe a United Vision is serving, friendly, flexible, inclusive, welcoming, faithful, compassionate, justice-seeking, caring, peace-seeking, tolerant, and innovative. The vision of the United Church of Canada involves ministry in our own United Churches and in work with partners across the country and around the globe. In the four corners of the United Church crest are symbols, three of which are particularly associated with the three communions, Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian, that united to form The United Church of Canada in 1925.
