The Church that I attend is composed of people like me.
We 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 a 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 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 what it is, am filled with these.
Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want the Church that I attend to be.
