To encourage our care for each other

We sit with our neighbors
our sisters, our brothers
some who are just like us
some different from us

Gathered together
lifting up our burdens
our sorrows and joys
our challenges in this life

Sharing together, in the congregation
to encourage our care for each other
loving our neighbors
as we have been called

Reaching out further
because more are suffering
calling us to go
out into the world

So much hurt
so much struggle
needing God’s love
just to survive

So much hope
joy in this place
needing to be shared
offering his amazing grace
