Description: A contemporary liturgy for a householder saying goodbye to their home, helping them manage this key transition, whether downsizing, moving house for new employment or moving into a retirement village. The service has times for silence and sharing memories in the rooms. Prayers are inclusive and include Maori karakia. Grief and loss are expressed in the poetry of lament, as in natural disasters.
