There will also be a special contribution from one of the URC\u2019s best known hymn writers, Brian Wren. A panel discussion, chaired by the Editor of the URC\u2019s magazine, Reform<\/em>, Stephen Tomkins, will also be part of the service.<\/p>\n

A scratch choir, headed up by Roo Stewart, will also be created on the day, which includes an exhibition and the chance for lunch or a tea or coffee from the caf\u00e9 at the venue.<\/p>\n

The hymns will be accompanied the hall\u2019s organ, piano and the event worship band, led by David Williams.<\/p>\n
