Accepting Our Gifts

Each of us given
gifts for the kingdom
special talents
to lift the church up

Each of us called
to holy service
accepting our gifts
given by God

Doing the work
what we are called for
spreading his message
in our special way

Love, God incarnate
giving himself for us
our call in our time
is to pick up our cross

“Notes from Peter”, by Reverend Peter A. Hey,
about his sermon for Mother’s Day, May 9, 2010
“Lydia had the gift of giving. Her financial support of the early
Christian movement played a significant role in the church.
My sermon on Mother’s Day will help us appreciate her gifts
and the gifts of leadership that many women bring to the church.
I believe that loving, listening and learning are essential for leadership.
I will be preaching this sermon at the evening service, as well as
the morning services.”
