Announcements

·       We continue to be cautious regarding re-opening for public worship again –please pray for wisdom and discernment as we consider the question. 

·       The Weekly Check-in with Rev. Steve on Zoom is held on Tuesdays at 3:00.  You can use this link if you wish to access the Zoom room (and any who wish to check in from Limehouse are also welcome!).

·       The Bible Study on the Epistle to the Hebrews has begun again!  We continue into Chapter 8 – this meeting is also on Zoom, and you can click on these words to activate the link to join in! 

·       Our music video today is a recording of “Wade In the Water” by the gospel acapella group Sweet Honey From the Rock

·       Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to the Easter Basket Brigade grocery card campaign – for those who have not yet given them in, please have the cards or the cash to the church or to Rev. Steve by March 25^th. 

·       Those wishing to contribute to the Limehouse Drive Shed repairs, please make any cheques out to the Limehouse PC Building Fund. 

·       Next Sunday, March 7^th, we will celebrate Communion together.  Please remember to bring your elements to your time of worship next Sunday!

·       The World Day of Prayer service is this coming Friday, the first Friday of March.  It will be done over Zoom, and it has been discovered that you don’t need a camera or a microphone in order to simply listen in!  The link is available on the sheet that was sent out with the announcements, and it should be very interesting as the nation that prepared the service is the island of Vanuatu, in the New Hebrides island chain, northeast of Australia!  The service starts at 7:30, and everyone is welcome to join in! (see attached announcement!)

·       Ilean Hancock was known to many in the congregation, although she had not been a member of any specific congregation for some time.  She passed last Sunday and her funeral was this past Friday, co-conducted by Peter Barrow and myself. 

·       Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support of the work and ministry of our congregations!  Please remember that you can mail in your offering or, for the case of Knox folks, contribute through Canada Helps, starting at www.knoxgeorgetown.com/index.php/donations

An update for all...

Dear Friends, Recently we've had a few rumors and misinformation circulating around the community, suggesting that Limehouse Presbyterian Church is closing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Like all other places of worship, we are still closed under the shutdown created by the Province of Ontario’s state of emergency, and will remain so until notified otherwise. I’m sorry for those who were concerned, and feared that the church was closing. I will continue to monitor this website and keep you posted on any new developments. In the meantime, look after each other, be safe, and pick up the phone and call a friend. We will all get through this pandemic together. 

 Sincerely, in God’s name, 

 Ted Brown, 

 Clerk of Session, 

 Limehouse Presbyterian Church
