In the beginning, mission in communion:
The Father sent the Son and the Spirit.
God spoke his word through
Melchizedek and Hagar,
Rahab and Ruth,
Balaam and Naaman,
Jethro and Job.
Together they are sent:
Together we are sent.
God spoke his word through
Woman of Samaria,
Roman soldier,
Woman of Phoenicia,
Caesarea centurion.
Together they are sent:
Together we are sent.
God spoke his word through
Monica of Africa,
Ajayi Crowther,
Abdul Masih,
Pandita Ramabai,
Watchman Nee.
Together they are sent:
Together we are sent.
From the beginning, mission in communion.
‘The Father sent me: I send you.’
Receive the Spirit:
the Spirit of release.
Until the end, Holy Communion.
Our hearts are fed, by Christ by faith,
We proclaim his death, until he comes.
Maranatha, Alleluia: Alleluia, Amen.
