By Holy Appointments - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Connecting lives together
all one congregation
all believers as one
one flock of one Shepherd
all of us called
to offer love
sharing our Savior
to the ends of the earth

Holy appointments
God’s way of sending ripples
stones thrown in deep waters
washing on distant shores
change coming
resolving differences
in God’s time only
not yours or mine
