Seekers Poetry Collection
Many members of Seekers write poetry. The poems in this collection were produced, submitted, and edited by members or alumni of Seekers Church. John Morris, a member of Seekers and published poet is serving as curator of our on-line collection.
Several times each year, John facilitates a community gathering at Seekers Church on a Tuesday evening between sessions of our School of Christian Living to share and talk about poetry. Many new poems by Seekers are first shared there. In the future, some of those will make their way to this page so others can share them. Stay tuned: More poems are on the way!
We’ve gathered these poems into five chapters, based on an earlier book of poems by Seekers called “CREATION and Other Things,” gathered by the Artist’s Mission Group and first printed at Seekers Church in 2004.
