ANNOUNCEMENTS
We
welcome you, our Church family, to worship this morning. May God continue to
bless us here at Limehouse.
Financial Update
Limehouse Church is not permitted
to" piggy-back" onto Knox's investments with the PCC. The Ontario Security Commission's rules are
specific that no individual congregation can be an investor in the CIF fund
without the required $150 000. The Church Managers are investigating
alternative investment options as discussed at our congregational
meeting in March.
Ray
Denny, Chairman
Board
of Managers
Limehouse Church will be closed for the
month of July. Worship with us again on August 2nd at 9:30 a.m.
During July, Knox will be having their worship services at 10:00.

Our
church and Limehouse Hall are jointly raising funds for David and Kristin
Cairns. Join us at the church for hamburgers, hotdogs, cold drinks and

the rebuilding of their home after the fire in December 2013. Bring your lawn

Cemetery Update
The Trustees and Board of Managers will be having a small wooden garden shed erected at the west end of the cemetery. Much needed storage for our contracted services will be provided. Cremation opening items, plywood storage and tools will be made available with no need for church accessibility by our outside contractors. Walls and roof colours will blend with the neighbour's workshop and our existing buildings.
