April 13, 2026 - This Week at McIvor

Sunday at 10 a.m. we will gather together for our worship service and will continue with Stories From Scripture. Pastor Pierre will speak from Acts 9:1-19; Matthew 6:24 with a sermon entitled Paul’s Conversion.

Sunday School for ages preschool through grade 5 will be offered following the service.

Adult Education: Excursions into the Torah will also be offered following the service, with Pastor Pierre. If you missed previous sessions, you can watch them here.

Adult Education: Excursions into the Torah with Pierre Gilbert – Sunday, 11:10 a.m.

The Old Testament is the most remarkable collection of books ever to appear in human history. In this series, we will focus particularly on the Torah (the Pentateuch), with special emphasis on the creation account. Upcoming sessions will be offered on April 19, May 3, May 10, May 17 and May 24.

Meal Train for the Schroeders

As Kevin and Mikayla adjust to the arrival of their baby girl Joni, we are collaborating on a Meal Train for the Schroeders, supplying them with some meals. Click here to access the meal train for details. Please contact the office if you have any questions.

55+ Walk and Talk – April 21, 9:30-11 a.m.

Our guest will be Pastor Pierre, who will talk to us about his conversion to Christ and God’s call to serve the Kingdom as seminary professor, speaker and writer. He will also reflect on how, in this time of deep cultural inflection, the church can point the younger generation back to the living God and reinject life into the foundations of our dying culture. In case you thought Pierre is just an academic lost in the lofty heights of the proverbial ivory tower, he often tells people he once had a real job as a truck driver for Canada Safeway in Swan River and The Pas many, many years ago. Come to enjoy fellowship and bring a mug and a snack to share!
