Inclement weather event coming in.

 

Hello everyone-

I’m sending out the weekly bulletin  for this weekend’s activities at Limehouse Presbyterian Church, but Rev Steve and I have been discussing the incoming severe weather that is being forecast. 

The dates and times are printed below, but in the event the severe  weather arrives, I will keep everyone apprised of whether we will be holding any services or not.

The minute we make a firm decision, I will send out a message on this email, and the Church website http://limehousepresbyterianchurch.blogspot.com/

Sincerely, Ted Brown, Clerk of Session

Toonie donations are down substantially this year to date. We are hoping to make up for this decrease.  Although prices are going up everywhere, this only makes life more difficult for those who rely on food banks.  Please consider helping us to increase donations these last two months so we can provide our usual support for this important community effort.
