ANNOUNCEMENTS

We welcome you to our annual Memorial Day Service. May you renew friendships and memories during this time of worship.
The Board of Managers and Trustees thank you for your continued interest in Limehouse Cemetery. We are proud of our cemetery and your generous donations enable us to maintain the cemetery grounds. Both the grass cutting on an “as need basis” and extensive fall leaf cleanup are contracted out. This is why we rely on your financial support through your contributions.  Thank you.
 A special thank you is also extended to those who helped at the clean up on April 29th.

Small Canadian flags have been placed on the graves of the veterans that are known to be buried here. This is in recognition of Canada’s 150th birthday. There are one or two of these flags still available for those we may have missed.  If you need a flag, please speak to Bill Karn following our morning service.
The Trustees thank Carol Lawson for donating these flags as we honour our veterans.
The Trustees also extend a heartfelt “thank you” to Ron and Joan Matheson, Halton Commercial Printers, for the printing of our special invitations.

A sincere thank you is extended to our organist, Josh Lim, as he shares his gifts of music today.

God Is So Good

God is so good,
God is so good,
God is so good,
He's so good to me.

He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He's so good to me.

I'll do His will,
I'll do His will,
I'll do His will,
He's so good to me.

He loves me so,
He loves me so,
He loves me so,
He's so good to me.*




















I’ll Fly Away

VERSE 1
Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

CHORUS:
I'll fly away O glory
I'll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

VERSE 2
When the shadows of this life have grown
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end
I'll fly away

CHORUS*
