Joy welled up, filled our
cups
our lives to overflowing
a day long sought after,
Being affirmed by our family
of faith
in the sanctuary, in
community
together hearing their words
feeling their love, their
certainty
Hearing their support, their
faith
in her call, to ministry,
their belief
She is called by God to the
pulpit,
to service, to care for a
flock
to bring God’s message, as
an elder
a shepherd for the Savior
His messenger of love
