Stained Brass, Shimmering Cross

The not quite polished brass
your cross, shimmering above the altar
reflecting the light onto the congregation
mottled, shards of the stained-glass color
shimmering palette, shining outward
washing down on us, as our voices rose
affirming words of the inclusiveness of God
that we are all blessed with God’s grace
Affirmed by the creator, in brilliant light


November 9, 2008
Acts 15:1-19 and
sermon, “We Are One”
and the sunlight
through the cloudy sky, fall colors,
during the closing hymn, “Many Gifts, One Spirit”
