Treasurer – After many years of faithful and dedicated service Bill Sanford has decided to retire from being our Treasurer at the end of the calendar year.  While we have many who help with the financial side of things, we need someone to take on the title of “Treasurer”, and it would be good to have a period of transition and training.  If you are interested, please talk to Bill or any of the other elders about it.

 

We will not gather here for worship at Limehouse, on Sunday October 30.

You are invited to attend a Joint Worship Service – The five congregations of Georgetown, Limehouse, Norval, Union and Acton are once again holding a joint service of worship!  This year, Knox Georgetown. will be hosting the service, which will take place on Sunday, October 30th, at 11:00 a.m.  A joint choir is being formed to present music for the day, and Rev. Bryan Fox, the stated supply preacher at Union, will be bringing the message for the day.  There will be a light luncheon to follow.

Let us gather together!

 

Regular worship will resume on Sunday November 6th at 9:30 a.m. as we celebrate Remembrance Sunday.

 

Planned Giving Seminar - Ever wanted to leave a legacy to your church but weren't sure how? On Sunday, November 13th, following Worship, there will be a workshop led by Karen Plater, Associate Secretary for Stewardship & Planned Giving, in the Small Hall at Knox. This workshop is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about leaving legacy gifts to their congregation, or even the national Church as a whole!
