The
Book of Acts, the Acts of the Apostles
share
valuable lessons for this age,
these
uncertain, troubled times in our lives;
Maybe
community can rise again
out
of the ashes of our
disjointed,
unconnected lives
They
were all together
at
one table, sharing one meal
they
lived, they worshipped, they ate together;
A
single life in the lives of the apostles
out
of their wealth they gave,
out
of their need they were given,
the
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 community
seeing
Christ in our neighbors;
We
share in their legacy
sharing
our table with them,
all
of them, no charge.

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