Our group of seven women has been meeting weekly for nearly five years at Community United Methodist Church.
Called into discipleship by the Holy Spirit, we exist for the purpose of covenant accountability to God. We assist one another by our prayers, presence, purpose, and confidentiality, watching over one another in love. In response to God's love and grace, we covenant to:
- Use opportunities to share in Christian fellowship and public worship each week.
- Support our church with time, talents, and gifts according to our abilities.
- Practice daily devotions (Scripture, meditation, recording spiritual insights) and remember our group members in prayer.
- Strive for personal wholeness of body, mind, and spirit.
- Be open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
- Spend ____ hour(s) each month in service to others.
- Express feelings of genuine appreciation daily to at least one person.
- Listen to other people as a ministry of grace.
- Speak and/or act individually for God's justice as we become aware of injustice to others.
- Support with prayer, action, and/or money, groups that act for God's justice in the world.
We hereby make our commitment, pledging to support one another, and trusting in the grace of God to give us the will and the strength to keep this covenant.
