April 6, 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. We welcome Cheryl Pauls, President of CMU, as guest speaker, who will speak from John 20:19-31; Psalm 145:13-21 with a sermon entitled The Risen Lord Appears.

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.

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. As mathematician and philosopher David Berlinski has observed, it is “the greatest repository of human knowledge and wisdom in the history of civilization, in any culture, any time, any place.”

In this series, we will focus particularly on the Torah (the Pentateuch), with special emphasis on the creation account. In addition to providing an introduction to the Torah, we will examine the following topics:

Divine Transcendence
Creation Out of Nothing
Only One God
The Foundation of Empirical Science
The Death of the Gods and the Abolition of Magic
Human Dignity: In the Image of God
The Origin of Evil
Eve and the Serpent

Mark your calendars! This series will be offered on March 29, April 12, April 19, May 3, May 10, May 17 and May 24.
