Resto Anniversary -- 3rd Try -- Draft

Ten years ago today
Parishioners just like you
Just like me
Gathered under one roof
On a street named Quincy
In a church known as Trinity

All who gathered that day
Called in some unique way
For the birth of a congregation
In what we know as North Arlington

Since that wonderful start
Many have come and many depart
And so this place exists
For us to come and sit
On a wintry November day
Or a summer's night
Where we can feel safe

Protected, unguarded, loved

There, our thoughts elevate

And we celebrate
Births and deaths
Marriages and victories
Over suffering

All filled with joy eventually
as all things will be made new
