The choir sings a song of worship (8:55-11:40). Eddins speaks about his desire to make proper closures in life (11:41-14:10). Eddins speaks of the redemptive closure of Christ’s sacrifice (14:11-15:06). He states the first mark of a proper closure is that the situation is dialogical (15:07-16:52). Eddins states the second mark of a proper closure is that it is substantial (16:53-18:17). He states the third mark is that it is indeed a closure, it is terminal (18:18-20:20). He states the fourth mark is that openness is given (20:21-22:00). He names the fifth mark as waiting (22:01-26:10). The service closes in a benediction (26:11-27:02).
