Like those first disciples
gathering, confused, afraid
seeing the risen Christ
feeling the breath of God
the flames of Pentecost
falling upon them,
their bodily transformed
by the gift of Christ
new life begun
in their new reality
aware of their mission
the calling on their lives
So we entered in
into our time of reflection
of worship, calling us
closer to thee, oh God
open to the Spirit
speaking from deep within
calling us to Your ministry
in this church, in this time
our place in Your creation
to go, reborn, as they were
to do Your work
out in this troubled world
