The Book of Acts, their stories,
the Acts of the Apostles
valuable lessons for this age,
this time in our lives;
these uncertain, troubled times,
maybe community can rise again
out of the ashes of our disjointed,
our unconnected lives.
All together, one table, one meal
one prayer, as one,
they lived, worshiped, they ate
together;
a single life the lives of the
apostles
out of their wealth they gave,
out of their need they were given
early believers on the way
followers of Christ.
Sharing all, around one table,
to spread Christ’s message
to bring God’s love
out into the world;
bringing their lives together
one community, one meal
In meals shared, in sacrament, in
community
seeing Christ in our neighbors.
We share in their legacy
we share the table with them
all of them, no charge
gathering with us
one table, one meal together
offering Christ to them
those different from us
the least, the last and the lost.

changing the spelling from
“worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and
Twitter said “worshipped” is a misspelling.
