July 1st is Canada Day


Eternal Father, Ruler of all nations, on this day when our country celebrates its birth, we thank You for all spiritual and temporal blessings enjoyed in our land. By the power of the Holy Spirit, our hearts are turned to freedom from sin and death that You alone graciously give through Jesus Christ. Amen.


O Canada! Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command

With glowing hears we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

From far and wide O Canada

We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

I hope your day of celebration was a great one! Since it was on Sunday, do you get another day off?
You know, like us? We celebrate the 4th and most businesses are closed and employees have the day off. Just curious........
