Hymn - Where the road runs out
Where the road runs out and the signposts end, When the coast is left and we journey on When the clouds are low and the wind is strong, |

Parting words
Be still …
and let nature’s peace wash over you …
like waves lapping over stones
smoothing rough edges of insurmountable worries
to tiny insignificant grains of sand,
leaving smooth shining love.
May we be wholly present in our own lives,
ready to be surprised by the wonder
of each ordinary moment.
Go in peace.
May the earth be warm under your feet,
the rain bring the gentle flowers of the bush bright around you,
and the wind blow as the breath of the Spirit before you.
Amen. May it be so.

Benediction
Go now in peace. Never be afraid.
God will go with you each hour of ev’ry day.
Go now in faith, steadfast, strong and true.
Know God will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe.
Reach out to others, so all the world can see.
God will be there surrounding us with love.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
Amen, amen, amen.
