The service was recorded live at Dudley Foord House. The service is hosted by Ross Pendlebury, from the Anglicare executive, and also has a closing message from Andrew Ford, General Manager for Mission and Partnerships at Anglicare.

The service features three hymns. One of them, “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah” (Hymns ‘R’ Us) was recorded live at the Hymns ‘R’ Us hymn singing event at Windsor District Baptist Church in April 2018. We express our thanks to Hymns 'R' Us for their permission to use their recorded hymn singing here.

The other two hymns, “Now Thank We All Our God” and “Be Thou My Vision” were produced by the Center for Church Music, who generously provide a wide array of recorded hymns on their website at http://songsandhymns.org/. Their permission to use their hymns in these programs is gratefully acknowledged.
