Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

Casting about in Heaven

The pole and lure no longer be cast.
The voice keeps telling me “Do not grieve for the past.

Remember the good times, the laughter, the song --
The good life we lived while I was still strong.
Continue my legacy, I'm counting on you --

Keep smiling, love deeply -- the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest,

Remembering all, how truly I was blessed.
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
Keep walking the rivers and casting again.
I am never gone, I am always by your side,
To bless your day and go along for the ride.

I may be the fish that just got away,
Or the breeze that keeps calling your name.
No matter the setting or places you will travel,
My love carries on right through the final gavel.”

Immediately following the service, you are invited to Stewart Hall for
refreshments and time with the family provided by the Board of Deacons.
