Leading us to our seats,
watching the congregation,
caring for the flock
from the back of the sanctuary,
from the aisles,
sharing the joy of worship
the community of believers
one bulletin, one smile,
one greeting, one handshake
at a time

About Al Leavitt, who stepped down
as one of the ushers of our church,
Wesley United Methodist Church, Concord, NH,
on 9/30/07, after serving 62 years
