Lake Superior Day is always the third Sunday in July – Lake Superior Day was started in the early 1990s by a group of Thunder Bay residents who sought to celebrate the body of water that dominates and defines our region. As stewards of God’s creation we recognize we need to take care of the lake and all that flows into it. The lake provides income, respite, transporta- tion, recreation, and food for us. We are thankful! The Maritime Visitor Center will have free half-hour tours at the Duluth Ship Canal at 1:15 and 3 p.m. Sunday.

LLO does research around the globe, but its freshwater mission focus- es on Lake Superior, and this Sunday the public gets a chance to tour its laboratories, discuss the research with the scientists plus grab a great barbecue supper with the researchers.

who spread the skies, and set the stars ablaze, Refrain O Christ the same, who wrought our whole salvation, Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee, how great thou art! How great thou art! we bring our thanks for all our yesterdays. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee, how great thou art! How great thou art!

O Son of Man, who stooped for us from heaven, You stretch out the heavens like a tent, O Prince of life, in all your saving pow'r, 3you set the beams of your chambers on the waters, O Christ the same, to whom our hearts are given, you make the clouds your chariot, we bring our thanks for this the present hour. you ride on the wings of the wind,

4you make the winds your messengers, 3 O Christ the same, secure within whose keeping fire and flame your ministers. our lives and loves, our days and years remain, 5You set the earth on its foundations, our work and rest, our waking and our sleeping, so that it shall never be shaken. our calm and storm, our pleasure and our pain: 6You cover it with the deep as with a garment; O Lord of love, for all our joys and sorrows, the waters stood above the mountains. for all our hopes, when earth shall fade and flee, 7At your rebuke they flee; O Christ the same, beyond our brief tomorrows, at the sound of your thunder they take to flight. we bring our thanks for all that is to be. 8They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys

to the place that you appointed for them.

9You set a boundary that they may not pass,

so that they might not again cover the earth.
