Friends we have come together as a community of
faith; people who are connected to Christ and to one another.
Let us
never forget the commitments we have made to serve God as well as love and
support one another.
We come today with the purpose of renewing our
covenant to follow Christ—to follow where God may lead and to share the message
of love in words of proclamation and acts of social justice.
Open our minds, Lord, to the ways we can give all
that we are to transforming the world around us. Transform us so that we could truly seek your
way of peace and grace. 
We also renewed our covenant with Wesley's Covenant Prayer.
I am no longer my own
but yours. Put me to what you will, rank me
with whom you will. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for you or laid aside for you; exalted for you or
brought low for you. Let me be full, let me be empty;let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and wholeheartedly yield
all things to your pleasure and disposal. And now, glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you are
mine and I am yours. So be it.
And the covenant now made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
