In Praise of Bit Players – v2

The pastor spoke of bit players

of the people in the story, the word of God

with small, sometimes unnamed parts

We too, in the congregation, so often

held up, supported, by the unknown bit players

in the life of the church, our journeys of faith

Nurtured, our paths made clear,

by those unseen members,

doing their part to be the body of Christ

Living as Christians by doing

even when unknown, bit players

maybe washing the pots

And for them we rejoice

and give humble thanks

and boundless praise
