My church is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.
It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith,
and a church with a noble spirit, if I, who make it, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task
of being all the things that I want my church to be.
