The deacon's song

After Acts 6:1-7

A duty born of a complaint

a complaint born of a practice

or non-practice, some ignored,

some disregarded for not having

the right credentials.

Created to serve, to serve

basic needs, to feed, born

to demonstrate a caring heart,

to meet the needs of the vulnerable,

to become the feet and hands

of the good news.

The seven sang:

We are the good news.

We are the gospel.
