A Prayer at the Start of a Stewardship Campaign

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 your help, Lord, 

I shall dedicate myself to the task 

of being all the things that I want my church to be.

Amen.
