My Parish is composed of people like me.
I will 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 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 Parish to be.
