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 the guest book in the front vestibule.    

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.  

  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.

Memorial Day Service - May 25th, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.
Rev. Steve Boose will lead us in this service of reflection and remembrance.
A light luncheon will be served in the Church hall following worship.
