At the beginning of the month in India, my squad got the chance to celebrate and suffer with the body of Christ: we helped build a church.  

Brick by brick, each person tossed and carried bricks.

 

This is a poem I made about that day.

 

The Church

 

More than the bricked building

More than the seats and podiums

We are the church

 

Together we all suffer

Together we all celebrate

We are the church

 

We built a church

Bricks going from one to another

We are the church

 

Brick by brick

Person to person

We are the church

 

Tossed to another

Every hand every brick

We are the church

 

Blistered hands

We suffered together

We are the church

 

Stacked bricks up one hill

Carried to the other

We are the church

 

Bricks in the end

We build the church

We are the church
