Connected Messages

A single voice, or so it would seem,
a wondrous truth, the call of this congregation
and the love of God
woven in the connected messages
the pastors, the two voices,
the many voices of the congregation
each thread, each message
intertwined, woven into a single whole
moving us forward, as a community
the wave building, the call growing louder
waiting, listening for discernment
but doing the work of the kingdom
here and now, in community
within our community, our fellowship
engaged already in the master’s work
spreading his love wider,
touching other lives,
grounded in the connected messages
of our two pastors
