JANUARY

Methodists hold an annual Covenant Service, usually at the start of each new year, to celebrate all that God means to them. They affirm that they will give their whole lives and all their choices to serve God. This first began in 1755 – over 250 years ago.

I am no longer my own but yours.
Your will, not mine, be done in all things,
wherever you may place me,
in all that I do
       and in all that I may endure;
when there is work for me
       and when there is none;
when I am troubled
       and when I am at peace.
Your will be done
when I am valued
       and when I am disregarded;
when I find fulfilment
       and when it is lacking;
when I have all things,
       and when I have nothing.

 I willingly offer
all I have and am
to serve you,
as and where you choose.
 
Glorious and blessèd God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
you are mine and I am yours.
May it be so for ever.
Let this covenant now made on earth
be fulfilled in heaven.  Amen.
