One For All I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one... May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. John 17:22-23 (NLT) We are those who believe in Jesus and his prayer was that we would be one. We want to be one for a purpose. We want to be one for all. We are different and opinionated but we are destined for the same place. We are dreaming of the days when we stand together because We are strong together, We serve together, We see further together, We are sent together To build one glorious kingdom with one glorious King. So let s gather. As we re gathered, we ll grow. As we grow, we go. We go into all the world as his witnesses. He is one for all. Can we be? Can we celebrate each other? Face the challenges of being one, head on? Talking honestly and openly about what it means to be God s people, Can we reach beyond our boundaries to do what makes a difference? Making a priority of his purposes and knowing how to disagree, Can we see what cooperation can do as we witness to God s world? We want to be one for a purpose. We want to be One All 4
