ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

 We welcome you, our Church family, to worship this morning. May God continue to bless us here at Limehouse.   

 

Financial Update

Limehouse Church is not permitted to" piggy-back" onto Knox's investments with the PCC. The Ontario Security Commission's rules are specific that no individual congregation can be an investor in the CIF fund without the required $150 000.  The church managers are investigating alternative investment options as discussed at our congregational meeting in March. 

Ray Denny , Chairman, Board of Managers

 

Limehouse Church will be closed for the month of July.  Worship with us again on August 2nd at 9:30 a.m.

 

Financial Report for end of June 2015
Even though our church is closed for July, our major expenses (Minister’s stipend, congregational rates, heating (i.e., equal billing) and hydro etc.) continue all through July and amount to almost $2,200 for July.   Even with our pre-authorized debit, we need almost $1,500 to break even for the month of July. Your continued financial support and faithfulness are constant and appreciated.  May God continue to bless us, here at Limehouse.

Bill Sanford, Treasurer

 

Cemetery Update
The Trustees and Board of Managers will be having a small wooden garden shed erected at the west end of the cemetery.  Much needed storage for our contracted services will be provided. Cremation opening items, plywood storage and tools will be made available with no need for church accessibility by our outside contractors. Walls and roof colours will blend with the neighbour's workshop and our existing buildings.
Trustees, Bruce Coles, Bill Karn, Bill Kirkwood
