In Mission

In Mission
to the people of that simple place
people of that land,
roots deep in that rough scrabble
eeking out life on the land,
the sea, the open ocean before
the blueberry fields,
the forest behind
out on the edge of our land.
Going there in mission
hoping to serve them
make their lives just a bit easier

On the start of our mission trip,
from Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH, to Jacksonville and Machias, ME
to the Down East Maine Mission,
Jacksonville United Methodist Campground,
East Machias, ME
