What you can do to help your church

1. Be faithful in attendance, finance, and in your support of the ministries of the church.

2. Lift up your pastor in prayer every day realizing that he is human too.

3. Invite people to come with you to church. You will never know who you touch with the gospel.

4. Don't wear your feelings on your shoulder or use the church as a place to blow off steam. Let it be a place of healing and help as it should be for those in need.

5. Don't run your brother down or allow idle gossip to separate you. Stop people before they start down that path of conversation.

6. Love one another. We are all fallible and continually need God's touch. Just remember what happened to them could happen to you.

7. Realize Jesus is still the only hope for this generation and don't be afraid of youth. Age doesn't always mean knowledge. Experience-maybe-but God can use young people and their approach to the gospel as well as ours.

8. Every decision will not always be agreeable with each person, but we are working for a common cause-Jesus!
