Where we are not yet connected

So many places, so near to us
where we are not yet connected
where our voices have not been heard
bringing the message of Christ
the hope in the good news
the promise, the grace of God

Needing to be more courageous
to use what we have been given
to take up what is in our hands
and go out into the world
to reach our neighbors where they are
not only sitting in church
