All Y’All Come - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Our message, God’s call
for all humanity
as Paul might say,
All Y’All come
because he loves you
offering himself
that we all may live
not some select few
broader yet,
for each one of us

All Y’All come
to the foot of the cross
Christ ready, all are welcome
his arms open for you
that we all would come home
a harvest, a bumper crop
for our God and King
Amen

written at the House of Purpose Coffee House,
based on comments by transplanted Texan,
Clint Brake that “All Y’All” means everyone
(and if my spelling is wrong, that’s me)

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”
