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

Church Financial Update
At the last session meeting I reported on a budget projection which indicates that we will be lucky to break even at the end of the year. The equal billing fuel payments are going up by
$60 a month (or a 24% increase) and the reconciliation in July was over $500, much higher than past years. At the present the building fund does not need any extra money, so please direct all of your weekly donations to Church funds so we have a chance of having a surplus at the end of the year.
Monthly Expenses (2015) Estimated Monthly Expenses (2016)
Stipend $1592 $1670
Fuel $310 $310
Hydro $130 $140
Organist $200 $200
Presbyterian’s Sharing $84 $84
Presbytery of Brampton $44 $45
Cong. Rates $210 $220
Insurance $281 $290
Total $2851 $2959
Weekly Collections $713 $740
(four-week month)
Assuming that the revenue for Anniversary Sunday, Pig roast and Holiday market is $2500, this would reduce the monthly collection goal to approximately $663 for 2015 and $690 for 2016.
Bill Sanford, Treasurer
Evangel Hall has an urgent need for certain items.
Lists of items are available on the back table. Please refer to the lists and give generously.
A box has been provided for the collection of these necessary items. Rev. Steve will take these items to Knox for pick-up.
Thank you!
