Two years since the plague desceneded upon us

And we’ve struggled, lamented, and mourned the loss of so many pilgrim partners along the way

Yet we abide still

With the scars to show for it

Yet we abide still

Now we know the sustaining power of God up close

Not some remote theological concept

But life lived, with God and one another, life lived

So plague, though you tried to ruin us, though you tried to turn us against one another through fear

We aren’t having it

For through the sustaining power of the Lord God, we abide

We abide still

Amen
