Our Faith in the World - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Living out our faith
walking in this world
We must be like Paul
going to tell the world

Not fearing retribution
persecution, the sword
going to the ends of the earth
to heal the brokenness

So many needing to here
the Good News that is Christ
come to bring us back to God
becoming the sacrifice

His choice to go to the cross
to follow the will of God
becoming the servant
emptying himself

Taking on the sins of the world
this we must relay
that through Christ we were freed of our sin
to walk in the way of light

Rise, oh Christian,
here God’s call
the Spirit dwelling within
Share the Good News that Christ is alive
and will come again in victory
at the end of this dark, dark, age

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”
