One Meal – Blog Action Day – v6

The Book of Acts,
the Acts of the Apostles revealing
valuable lessons for this age,
these uncertain, troubled times,
this time in our lives
offering hope to all of us
that community may be able to rise again
out of the ashes of our
disjointed, unconnected lives.

All together, one table, one meal
defining the nature of community;
They lived, worshipped, 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.

Sharing all, around one table,
to spread His 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;
We share in their legacy
seeing Christ in our neighbors;
We share the table with them
all of them, no charge.

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