May 12, 2025 - This Week at McIvor

Weekly Worship Services

Sunday at 10 a.m. Pastor Jon will speak on 1 Timothy 3:1-7 with a sermon entitled, Choosing Our Heroes. Rev. Dr. Robert Dean will offer a 3-part adult education opportunity for the next three weeks:

Immersed in the Mystery of the Triune God: Engaging the Apostles’ Creed – May 18, May 25 and June 1 following the service

The Apostle’s Creed stands as an effective summary of the Christian faith, an interpretive key for Scripture and the pledge of allegiance for those baptized into Christ. Join us following the Worship Service, as Rev. Dr. Robert Dean, Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics at Providence University, leads us on a three week exploration of our faith as we engage with the Apostle’s Creed.

There will be no Sunday School for children this week.
