Our Encounter with Christ - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Each of our journeys
the authenticity of our witness
our belief in salvation
in the good news
based on our own
encounter with Christ

Each of us different
our histories our own
the way we came to Christ
in our own way
when the time was right
in the way that we needed

Like Paul, every other believer
called by God, a servant
part of Christ’s family
going into the world
in our own time and place
to spread his message of love

1 Kings 17:8-16
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”
