Our Collective Prayer

It was in the sharing
around the meeting table
our joys, what we were thankful for
this week before Thanksgiving
our collective prayer to God
more than the sum of the parts
together a holy whole
of our love, our hope, our faith
our awareness of the blessings of this place
this country, this church,
our families, the communion of saints
all the means of grace around us
in our fellowship
in your world
for that we give you thanks
oh Lord, Amen.
