00:00It's not going to be very long, but I want to recall that there are profound things that have, the blood, sweat and toil, I was going to say blood, sweat, toil and tears, that are a very significant human endeavour and the price of what it's been in your toil to get to this day.
00:24And so, if you're a person of prayer, join in. If you'd rather not do that, I wonder if you just let me go through the past, the present and the future, and then I'll say the traditional words of blessing, which are about the future, that I believe will be beyond our capacity to ask or imagine. That's the promise.
00:47And so, Heavenly Father, we thank you for all those who offered their professional expertise, their creative imagination, and indeed the blood, sweat, toil and tears of so many, for the faithfulness of a vision to see a transformed community.
01:07We thank you today for this gathered community, for all that we represent in civic and political leadership, in community leadership here, and those of us that represent the community that is both today's and the community of the future.
01:26And now, with imagination, we pray that God will answer our prayers beyond our capacity to ask or imagine.
01:38That every person who walks through these doors will find it a place of hospitality and welcome.
01:46That every conversation will build up and encourage.
01:50That those who are close to despair will find hope.
01:56And that we will see the building of a deep-rooted sense of community in Hyattown and beyond.
02:05And so, in the name of God, we ask his blessing on this place, on this community, and on these facilities.
02:15In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
02:20Amen.
02:20Amen.
02:26Let's see you.
02:44Yeah, yeah.
02:46Are you ready?
02:52So after three, if anyone wants to say after three, one, go on.
02:56Is that a photograph or a card?
02:57Yeah, we can, no.
