Striving in His Love - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Striving in His Love
trying to be faithful
following where the Spirit leads
taking his yoke
the way of Calvary
taking on his servanthood

Christ living then
when we offer him
his love through our hands and feet
caring for those
who need his loving care
being a neighbor indeed

Faithful to our call
striving in his love
with our savior burning within
guiding all our steps
on the dusty road
leading us to share his love

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”
