In Passing the Peace by Raymond A. Foss

Piercing eyes, that smile
natty attire, just so,
sharing a moment with you
in passing the peace
a bit of Christ, love,
in your lasting handshake
in the “thank you” you gave
a special sense of grace
in feeling your embrace


January 16, 2010
on the passing of Al Leavitt,
January 15, 2010,
member of Wesley United Methodist Church
Concord, NH
---------------
Your Usher

Leading us to our seats,
watching the congregation,
caring for the flock
from the back of the sanctuary,
from the aisles,
sharing the joy of worship
the community of believers
one bulletin, one smile,
one greeting, one handshake
at a time


October 3, 2007
About Al Leavitt, who stepped down
as one of the ushers of our church,
Wesley United Methodist Church, Concord, NH,
on 9/30/07, after serving 62 years
