The video clip can be found on the Manchester Church of the Brethren youtube page embedded in the recording of the worship service for October 4, 2020,  beginning at about the 45 minute mark in the service.

Benediction: If there are things you need to let go of, let them go. If there are apologies you need to make, make them. If there is healing you want, seek it. Let grace have its way in your life, that you may have new life. Amen.
