- Laura and Richard Young, John Coniglio, and Nell Williams were the musicians who played and sang for us.
- River and Sam Setliffe were the acolytes who lit the candles.
- Jim and Jimmy Setliffe were the ushers.
- The Rev. Bonnie Setliffe Jacobs preached the church's final sermon, using the same scripture that the Rev. Jack Anderson had chosen for the FIRST sermon after that building was constructed. (The point I wanted to make was that we who comprise the church take the spirit of love with us, wherever we go. It isn't about buildings, but about love.)
