Woven As One

Each of us comes with a story
of how we found this community;
	a place to turn to 
where we are heard and held.

Each of our stories is woven
into the fabric of belonging;
	folded together
to ensure safety and peace.

Our story shared is a garment
wrapping us against the storms of life;
	covering our hurts
and enfolding us with warmth.

Our stories are woven as one,
all radiant with colour and strong;
	holding real hope
in Christ to overcome fear.
