POSTLUDE
ANNOUNCEMENTS
We
welcome you, our Church family, to worship this morning. May God continue to
bless us here at Limehouse.
154th Anniversary Service September 27th at
11:00 a.m.
Rev.
Sean Foster will lead us in worship.
Rev.
Foster was our interim moderator for a short time during the vacancy following
Rev. Cooper's retirement. Please join us!
Please mark your calendars NOW – On Sunday, October
25th, the five Presbyterian congregations of Halton Hills will be
gathering for a single service of worship! We will be gathering at Knox,
Acton, at 11:00, with worship led by all four ministers – Rev Steve, Rev Todd
Nelson (Acton), Rev. John Read (Norval) and Rev. Brian Fox (Union).
The Limehouse congregation currently plans to worship at
9:30 as usual for those who prefer that time, but worship will only be about 40
minutes long, as Rev. Steve will be off to the joint service when worship is
over.
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.
