ANNOUNCEMENTS

We welcome you to our Service this morning.   May God continue to bless us here at Limehouse.  If you are visiting with us, please sign our guest book in the front vestibule.

The Limehouse Church family generously donated $1,630.00 to the typhoon Haiyan Relief.  We pray that these monies will indeed ease the suffering in the Philippines.

The ice storm was devastating to many in our church family and our community. There has been much property damage and many related problems from days without power.
We thank God that we are safe and able to gather together in our church this morning. Our Session kept members informed of service cancellations and Keith Cairns and Bill Karn ensured that our church building was safe. Please enjoy a warm cup of coffee and tasty treats following worship.

Annual General Meeting Thursday February 13th, 2014.  Details to follow.

We pray for God’s continued blessings as we begin another year at Limehouse.

The 2014 offering envelopes are at the front of the vestibule.
