The Church’s Plea

If you used to come
to this church, this sanctuary
if you once felt belonging,
part of this family;
but you left because
of something someone said
or didn’t say or
something someone did
or didn’t do,
we apologize and
we ask you for forgiveness.

Please come back;
we need you, we
didn’t mean to hurt you.
Our life together will be
richer with you here with us,
healed of our brokenness, schism.
We love you and we are sorry
if we hurt you in any way
with our words or our actions
or when we failed to act or speak.
We too are human; we made mistakes.
