Ministry, yours, mine and ours

Quote du jour: Sometimes a poem says it all

Ministry is all that we do -- together

Ministry is all that we do -- together

Ministry is that quality of being in community that

affirms human dignity

beckons forth hidden possibilities,

invites us into deeper, more constant,reverent relationships

and carries forward our heritage of hope and liberation.

Ministry is what we do together

as we celebrate triumphs of our human spirit

Miracles of birth and life

Wonders of devotion and sacrifice.

Ministry is what we do together

with one another

in terror and torment

in grief, in misery and pain,

enabling us in the presence of death to say yes to life.

We who minister speak and live the best we know

with full knowledge

that it is never quite enough

And yet are reassured

by lostness found, fragments reunited,

wounds healed and joy shared.

Ministry is all that we do -- together.
