Our Collective Prayer - v2

It was in the sharing
around the meeting table,
our joys, what we were thankful for,
this week before Thanksgiving

our collective prayer to God
more than the sum of the parts
together a holy whole
of our love, our hope, our faith

our awareness of the blessings of this place
this country, this church,
our families, the communion of saints
all the means of grace around us

in our fellowship, in meeting
in your blessed world
for that we give You thanks
oh Lord, Amen.
