COMMUNITY NEWS

Alarm at Church

It has been brought to our attention that many times when people come to the church on weekends or in the evenings, the alarm has not been set. Please ensure that if you have an alarm code and use the church in any capacity, the alarm is set before you leave. If need be, check that the daycare is not in use before you set the alarm, however on weekends this is not an issue. Thank you, from the church staff.

Prayer Gathering – November 18, 10 a.m. in the Coffeehouse

On Wednesday, November 18 at 10 a.m. you are invited to pray together for our needs on Council, as well as several other positions of service here at McIvor. Pastor Sherryl will guide the prayer time. If you are unable to attend, please take time that day to pray for our Council needs.

Congregational Fall Meeting – November 21, 9h30

Please plan to attend the Congregational Fall Meeting on Saturday, November 21 at 9:30 a.m. Enjoy breakfast together, served by Council and hear of how God is moving in and through us at McIvor and beyond! The Fall Reports are available here and in hard copy at the Information Centre.

Advent Giving Project: Madison House – until December 6

With Advent just around the corner, we will be starting a collection for our annual Advent Giving Project for Madison House. Madison House is Siloam Mission’s supportive housing facility. McIvor has been doing a Christmas party and handing out gift bags for many years. There will be a table set up in the foyer for monetary donations, as well as a box for the following items: men’s deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, etc.

The collection will run until the first Sunday in December (December 6). If you have any questions please contact the church office or email Heather.
