Hot Breakfast and Fall Congregational Meeting – Saturday, 9-11 a.m.

Come enjoy a hot breakfast prepared and served by your Council members Saturday, November 8 at 9 a.m. You will then catch a glimpse into how God is working in and through us at McIvor through the Fall Congregational Meeting. The Fall Report is available here or in hard copy at the Information Centre.

Weekly Worship Service

On Sunday at 10 a.m. Pastor Sherryl will continue with Stories from Scripture, preaching a sermon entitled Amos – Justice Rolls Down, based on Amos 1:1-2; 5:14-15, 21-24; John 7:37-38.  

Sunday School for children ages preschool to grade 5 will follow the service.

New Adult Education Series with Dr. Andrew Dyck – Stories that Shape and Reshape Us – Sunday, 11 a.m.

Stories shape the connections and the barriers between us. This is also true for churches—including the Mennonite Brethren (MB) church. During three adult education sessions, Dr. Andrew Dyck will tell older and newer stories that shape how MB churches relate to other churches (or don’t)—churches such as Mennonite, Lutheran, Evangelical, Vineyard, Catholic, and more. These stories matter, because Jesus prayed that all His followers would be “one.” Let’s consider together how these stories shape our practices of unity today, and how we might create stories of visible inter-church unity today.
