OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT AND SERVE

Bible Study Small Groups

Pastor Jon is organizing McIvor Bible study/small groups. If you are currently in a small group of some sort (even if it isn’t a ‘McIvor-only’ group), or would like to join one, please leave your info on the sign-up sheet in the foyer. If you’d like to join a committee for organizing and resourcing small groups, contact Pastor Jon.

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

Brian Dyck, brother of Bob Dyck, will speak about the Walking Tractor Project, the tractor prototype they have built in Manitoba that can be replicated by folks in Africa. Come to hear about partnerships being forged in South Sudan, Nigeria, Uganda and kindness shown that will hopefully lead many to God. See more.
