Hymn
|
"Put peace into each other's hands"
- a hymn by Fred Kaan

|
Benediction
|
The final hymn of Fred`s left us with "Where words fall
short, let hands speak out, the heights of love expressing."
So the sung benediction (by Rev Helen Mary Brett-Young of
Patterdale) picks up on those sentiments in a very
practical way.
