All in One Place - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

At the birth, they were all in one place
waiting for the one who had been promised by Christ
Flames of the Spirit descending upon them
tongues they did not know to spread His love to all

A church born, from the seeds of that place
planted into every heart who hears of his love
Washed in the water, saved by his blood
filled with the Spirit, led by his love

Sending the flames
from that one place in time
to the ends of the earth
and to your heart and mine

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”
