POSTLUDE
Trust and Obey
Verse 1: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word
What
a glory He sheds on our way!
While
we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And
with all who will trust and obey.
Chorus
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Verse 3: Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But
our toil He doth richly repay;
Not
a grief nor a loss, not a frown nor a cross,
But
is blest if we trust and obey.
Chorus
Verse 4: But we never can prove
the delights of His love
Until
all on the altar we lay;
For
the favour He shows, and the joy He bestows,
Are
for them who will trust and obey.
Chorus

Welcome to Building Fund Sunday ! If you wish to make a donation towards the roof repair for the driving shed, please mark it on your offering envelope or use Building Fund envelopes.
Raisin’ the Roof – Saturday May 3, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. Eric Walton will be singing hits of the 50’s and 60’s. Free will donations would be appreciated in financial aid of the driving shed roof. Refreshments to follow.
Congregational Input Event – As a way of considering our future work as a congregation, Rev. Steve will be holding a short workshop on the morning of May 3rd, from 9:00 until 11:30. Those who attend will be asked to consider Limehouse’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats as we consider how we can reach out into the community with faith and as a spiritual presence here. Please let him know if you plan to attend. (Please note: This is a shorter version of what took place back in February)
Limehouse Hours – Rev. Steve will return to regular Wednesday mornings in the Limehouse church building on Wednesday, May 14th. Breakfasts at McDonald’s are still happening, and he will be there on the 16th, 23rd and 30th of April, should you wish to meet him there instead.
Can you help with the church yard and cemetery cleanup?
Contact Ray Denny at 905-877-3890 for weekdays or Bill Karn at 905-877-2346 for the morning of April 26th.
Pre-Authorized Remittance
Over the years our Church has experienced large variations in weekly donations. This makes long term planning difficult. Many people have taken advantage of having their donations set up on a direct debit (Pre-Authorized Debit) system. This way the Church knows exactly how much money is coming in every month and you know exactly how much you are donating on a regular basis. If you are interested please speak to Bill Sanford.
