On Social Media, Opening Ceremonies, and Churchwide Assemblies

Collaborating with others via Facebook and Zoom
While sitting alone in my living room;
Tweeting and retweeting the Olympics parade
Long after my tab at the bar has been paid;
My brother in Indy posted an article about someone I once knew
My mom in Minnesota saw it, and commented, too.
Creating a guide to hashtags and handles
Liking my friend’s Instagram picture of luggage and sandals;
“I’ll see you in NOLA,” the status update declares,
“I’ll be there as well!” is liked and is shared;
My flight is delayed, and according to posts, yours is too,
Twitter assures me they’re doing all they can do.
“We are church together,” we gather to  say
And discuss the statement “Together on the Way”
It’s not just you and it’s not just me,
Through a variety of ways, it’s almost always a ‘we.’
