Reporting In – v2

We were sent

out by the congregation

to be His hands, to be their hands

Down East; putting on His sandals

going where they cannot

to serve the community.

We were, this morning,

reporting in, bringing the faithful

with us on that mission

into the service, the fun,

the fellowship we share

going with us into the world

Through our reflections,

our witness of the work

they helped support.

For we need hands and wallets,

feet and prayers to do the work

of the kingdom, here on earth.
