Join us on Sunday, December 31st at 10:30 AM for the Wesley Covenant Renewal Service.
John Wesley introduced the annual covenant renewal service for use by the Methodist societies in 1755. Every year, on or near January 1, the Methodists gathered to renew their covenant with God. The service is adapted from a Puritan ritual. It is a powerful time of self-examination and confession that culminates in renewal of commitment to discipleship.
United Methodists may practice covenant renewal by using the contemporary adaptation of Wesley's Covenant Renewal service found in The United Methodist Book of Worship.
These services are powerful means of grace that give members an opportunity to recommit themselves to living and practicing the baptismal covenant with God. They remind us of our commitment to be witnesses to Jesus Christ in the world by the way we live and love every day.
