Before-word: for today’s Shabbat Shalom celebration, sharing a piece commissioned by my church as a tribute to our members who’ve passed on as part of our 50th anniversary celebration. I did not want a macabre presentation, but rather one filled with hopeful anticipation.

Using the abecedarian poetry form, I chronicled our beginning; the joys of community building, the camaraderie, the friendship, the fellowship; juxtaposed to the lost of loved ones and the anticipation of the resurrection when we will be reunited.

Thank you for journeying along.
