What is church?
the pastor asked, to visualize
Each of us an image in our minds
for me, a memory
lasting, enduring, recurring
the thought of a full sanctuary
family, friends, members of my congregation
singing, praying, nodding with the words
the sermon of the pastor, yes; but even more
words of scripture, our shared meaning
our service together
