"My church is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring others into worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity, and mercy, if I am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my church to be."
So, that brings up the question -- how can we help?
