Planning:
<1.  Her Majesty's Armed Forces 21-gun Salute. Our silence
is required during this salute.>
<2.  We lead off with the Singing of O Canada (1 min 30 seconds)>
<3.  Rick Galbraith: 1 minute>
     Welcome to the First Canada Day Praise and Worship event,
     sponsored by The Winnipeg Chapter, Full Gospel Business Men's
     Fellowship of Canada. 

     Today we are gathered together to worship Jesus Christ in the
     context of Canada Day, to symbolically Link the worship of our
     Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ with the celebration of the birth
     of our Nation. Today, we are going to Let the Praises Ring.

     I'm asking you all to rise at this point, and repeat with me
     that great statement of our common faith, the Apostle's Creed:

<4.The Apostles' Creed: (55 seconds)>

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius
Pilate: was crucified, dead, and buried.  He descended into hell;
the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into
heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the Holy Catholic Church, the
communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of
the body; and the life everlasting.  Amen.

<Tribute to God's hand being on Canada:  (3 minutes)>

    God has had his hand on Canada from the beginning.  The very
    name of our country, from Confederation on, is The Dominion of
    Canada. Do you know how our country was named?

     According to one account, it was as he attended one of the
     Founding Conventions, in Charlottetown or Quebec City, 
     that one of the Fathers of Confederation opened his Bible for
     his morning devotions and read from Psalm 72, verse 8: "He
     shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the
     river unto the ends of the earth."  It was this that led to the
     choice of the name, "The Dominion of Canada."

            "Canada's motto "A Mari
            usque ad Mare" (From
            sea to sea) is based on
            this same scripture: The
            first official use of this motto came in 1906 when it
            was engraved on the head of the mace of the
            Legislative Assembly of the new Province of
            Saskatchewan. The wording of the motto came to
            the attention of Sir Joseph Pope, then Under
            Secretary of State, who was impressed with its
            meaning. He later proposed it as motto for the
            new design of the coat of arms, which was
            approved by Order in Council on April 21, 1921
            and by Royal Proclamation on November 21,
            1921."  

When I was a young person, the hymnal used in our
prebyterian church had an anthem to Canada, to the
tune of O Canada, which had the line, "Lord of the
Lands make Canada thine own."  National and Christian
fervor have been combined over the years. Today, we
are here to encourage the combining of our devotion to
our Lord Jesus Christ with our longing for His graciousness
to again take hold of Canada.  So as we sing, we are
singing to an audience of one, the Triune God, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
