Each One a Mustard Seed

The size of the ministry
the work in the fields
the village church
alive in the giving, the sharing
sowing mustard seeds
tiny, little, seemingly minor
acts of kindness, of love
acting out our faith
the gifts of grace, of community
of love for our neighbors
in simple kindnesses, in sharing,
in serving where we can
in being there for another
being present, being open
being ourselves a mustard seed
a bit of Christ, of God
planted within another heart
seeds growing, in God’s time
a harvest of saints
each one a mustard seed
planted in the world

Unison Prayer
“Eternal God, who created us in your own image.
Enable us to fearlessly contend against evil and to
make no peace with oppression.
May we use our freedom with reverence, and
for the establishment of justice to the glory of
your holy name; through Jesus Christ our Savior.”
