Watering the Seeds - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

We are given seeds to plan
but there are seeds to water too
those planted before our time
some growing within ourselves
all part of God’s plan,
the spreading of the message of love
started on that fateful day, Pentecost

The church the workers,
the field the earth
sowing the seeds of His love
tending the seeds, one by one
watering the seeds
so they may grow strong
to bear seeds, fruits
to be shared in other gardens
one by one, each human heart

Call to Worship: Psalm 104:31-33 (NIV)
Unison Prayer,
“Almighty God, Giver of knowledge and might, we come
before your throne to worship You in Spirit and truth. We
pray that your Spirit of illumination would fall upon us
gathered here today so that we may hear your still small
voice, guiding us as we sojourn through this world. May we
feel Your presence with us here today. Come Spirit, fill our
hearts this day. Amen”
