George Barna has written, "People no longer give to the church simply because it is the church. The church must prove it is worthy of donations through the mark it leaves on the world."

St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church does this task exceptionally well. Each weekly newsletter features a front-page article under the banner "Your Gifts Make a Difference."
