Joyful living The 2009 Annual Stewardship Campaign

Wellspring United Methodist Church Georgetown, Texas

Imagine a Church . . . Where the Word is proclaimed and Worship is vibrant. Where the vision is clear and believers are discipled. Where community is strong. Where teens are mentored and young people find faith. Where the gifts of the Spirit are used. Where the seeking find and the isolated become community. Where seniors are valued and children treasured. Where hope is restored. Where families grow stronger and marriages thrive. Where the curious are convinced and the convinced become committed.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the

wellspring of life (Prover 2
