Comments from First United Methodist Church in Memphis, Texas
A safe, comfortable place to share my weekly ups and downs. A place to pull strength from, plus a straight-forward phone line to GOD. If I need something, like prayers, a hug or help in some way or another, I don't feel guilty asking for it because that is why we are a Covenant Discipleship group, to nurture
one another. I have a written guide/outline of our goals we have
to meet each week; and for me, this helps me to stay focused
and also accountable. It brings me back to that same loving/caring PLACE every week.
"I believe this will help to bring our church even closer together as
we continue to 'Hatch'/'Birth' more and more of these small groups.
Some day, we will have one big CD group made up of many small
CD Groups. The only thing I see coming from this is 'GOOD.'
Apparently Wesley knew something, ha ha." — Rhonda
I cannot place into words the closeness, the accountability,
nor the level of responsibility in which we hold one another. It
is a feeling unlike any other that I have come to experience. I
go through the day now wondering if my actions and words
will be acceptable not only in the eyes of my covenant but to
God. — Brenda
It has given me a better insight into what young people face today and helped me to get to know the younger members of the church on a personal level. I think this has brought us all closer to Christ. — James
My Covenant Discipleship group has given me a place where I do not feel like I have to be on constant alert. In a world where we are constantly on guard against what others will or could do to us, it is so nice to have a group of people who are really interested in my life just for me. The group has also helped to make me more aware of how each decision I make every day should be to benefit the kingdom of God, not me. — Wendy
