Our annual covenant services took place on Sunday (5th February). This special service, which has been a part of our practice as Methodists since 1755, is an opportunity to give ourselves to God again, and to hear God give himself to us. You may find it helpful to read through the words of the 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 made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen
