Doubts about Saul - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The believers must have wondered
what to make of the change
the one who had been Saul
going by the name of Paul

Going to the east
with papers to persecute
to arrest the believers in the Christ
to bring them back to be judged

Claiming to have seen the risen Christ
in a pool of light
blinded on the Damascus Road
changing utterly his ways

Now being a prophet of God
a messenger of the Christ
bringing God’s message of love
to the ends of the earth

Psalm 146:1-5 (Call to Worship)
Prayer of Dedication:
“Abundant God, we thank you for the jars of our lives
that are constantly being filled. We offer our gifts to you,
that others may know of your abundance and grace.
Fill the hungry with good things. Lift up the oppressed.
Watch over the stranger and comfort the lonely.
Through our gifts, may we do likewise.
In the name of Christ the Comforter, we pray. Amen”
