The Church of Jesus Christ


We compliment one another …
Some can sing and some can pray with a special gift that blesses someone else.
Some can teach and some can preach.
Some have a way with dollars and cents.
Some can plan and organize.
Some have an extraordinary sensitivity and compassion.
Some are visionary.
Some are filled with the passions of justice and social reform.
Some dream dreams and see visions of God.
Some are quiet and some are loud.
Some are hard and some are soft.
Some are heaven-drawn.
Some are earth-anchored.
Some love the past.
Some love the future.
But take all the someones, and we have
The sum of it.
We all add up to the church of Jesus Christ.
And he loves us all.
And needs us all.
To finish his work!
