Stewardship

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 in.

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 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.
