"O God, my God, known to me in Jesus Christ, I give myself to you as your own, to love and serve you faithfully all the days of my life."
As Christians, we believe that God is alive in us and guides us in our journey of faith. We will support and encourage one another in our efforts to follow God's plan for our lives; and in order to more fully develop a relationship with God, we covenant to do the following:
Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength
- Attend Worship regularly.
- Pray daily alone and with others (including prayer for enemies and those who consider us enemies).
- Express appreciation to God and to others.
- Listen for God's voice in Scripture every day.
- Love the creation as an expression of God's work, in thought and in deed.
And Your Neighbor
- Spend time each day with loved ones.
- Listen well to others.
- Do something to help people in need.
- Refrain from gossiping.
- Speak the truth in love.
As Yourself
- Let not the sun set on your anger.
- Love yourself as God loves you.
Believing in the merciful love of God and trusting in the empowering guidance of the Holy Spirit, I hereby renew my commitment to keep this covenant.
(Originally signed March 11, 1999)
