Closing Words

Benediction

May the love of God surround us,
May the peace of God assure us,
And may the blessing of God rest with us
Until we gather here again.
Rev Ant Howe

Spring

As we sizzle in summer, fall into fall, then wither in winter
Now let us spring into spring
As the joy of each bud breaks forth
let our hearts burst
With the warmth and radiance of renewal
New life, new hope
Let us spring into spring
Martin Gienke

Deep within you

There is a place of peace
A place of wisdom,
A place of love.
May this sacred centre be your guide
May it be you strength for the journey
May it fill you with hope when all seems hopeless
And may it lead you to know the sacredness in all.
Rev Andy Pakula

Walk bravely

Facing the truth
With goodness in your heart
And beauty in your actions
Martin Gienke

Closing

May the icy fingers of winter release their grip,
may you be warmed and enlivened
May spring unfurl her blossoms all around you,
may you be opened and renewed.
And may you share the gift of warmth, and openness
all through your life,
in the days to come until we meet again.
Rev Dr Linda Hart
