The following is a piece of writing submitted by Sara Taylor on April 30, 2008
"I spent all of last Sunday's sermon writing this poem instead...I think it was well used time."

The Body of Christ

What is the body of Christ?
Is there really more to be seen?
It's the congregation of believers;
This is what the body means

To believe in One God
To unite seperate teams
Forebearing one another in love;
This is what the body means

Unity among the rightious
For all to be called his
Being peace makers in all the earth;
This is what the body is

To be lost sheep gatherers
To put behind what was
Making unity wherever it goes;
This is what the body does

It was nailed on a cross
For victory to be won
It was raised from the dead;
This is what the body's done

He is risen again!
No need to be laden with cares
Live your Life for God alone;
This is what the body shares

Receives healing to it's wounds;
Relief from Satan's chains;
Receives a love that's never heard of;
This is what the body gains

Selfish self ambitions,
Reluctancy to the cost,
Heavy chains that drag it down;
This is what the body's lost

Eternity with our father
Having what you need and more
No desease, sickness, or injuries;
This is what the body has in store

Toils, snares, temptation, tricks
Satisfaction that never lasts
Hurt, pain, doubt, and fear;
This is what the body's passed

In love and charity, meekness and peace,
Putting yourself last, and God first,
Selflessly giving all that it has;
This is how the body works

To be completely complete
To be fed as much as it feeds
To constantly be growing in Christ;
This is what the body needs

Believing in the son of God
Who paid in full our price
To preach the gospel to the nations;
THIS is the body of Christ.
