| ALEXANDRIA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH |
Here we intend to give you some information if your seeking to learn more about us and if you are new to the
area and not sure which church you might like to attend.
If you’re local, you may have gone by our church but not felt comfortable stopping to see if it was a place
where you might fit in. We are sure you will, because we are not perfect but God still loves us and is willing
and patient enough to use us anyhow. If you have never ventured off of the beaten path and driven through
Alexandria, well, maybe you should. Alexandria has a beautiful methodist church that is small but modest and
has been around for almost 200 years. The setting, building, and history are great but they’re not what makes
Alexandria Church worth your time to visit.
It’s the people. It’s how God is active and real in our lives. It’s how God and the Holy Spirit helps pull us
together into a unique and warm, authentic family environment.

| What is Grace? Grace is God's unmerited favor. That is, grace is God doing good for us that we do not deserve. In the Bible, grace and mercy are like two heads of the same coin. Mercy is God withholding judgment or evil that I deserve; grace is God giving me blessing or good that I do not deserve. Because of God's mercy, I do not receive the judgment of God against my sins; because of God's grace, I receive eternal life and a promise of heaven though I do not deserve them. Both mercy and grace come to me through the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace can also be defined as God's sufficiency or God's fullness in the life of the believer. God told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Ephesians 2:8 states, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." |
