Ira E. Harrison wrote the poems in this collection between 2001 and 2007. They are primarily about the people and the faith community of First Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Ira writes as "the spirit hits" capturing in his carefully chosen words his perspective on the people, their gifts to the congregation by their presence and by their gifts to the larger community. Ira offers these poems to the Congregation on the 150th Anniversary Celebration of First Congregational Church of Atlanta, UCC. - Henrietta Stith Andrews
