This
Book of Acts, concrete steps taken
the
Acts of the Apostles
valuable
lessons for this age,
for
this time in our lives;
In
these uncertain, troubled times,
maybe
community can rise again
out
of the ashes of our disjointed,
our
separate, unconnected lives.
All
together, at one table, sharing
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 each one’s need they were given
early
believers on the way
the
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 that table with them
all
of them, no charge
gathering here with
us;
One table, one meal
together
offering Christ to
them
the least, the last
and the lost
those different
from us.

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