Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol || Pastor

Jeremiah 31:27-34 & Matthew 25:31-46

You are invited to join us this morning, New Year's Day, as we follow the lead of the early Methodists who started each year with a service of Covenant Renewal. The heart of the service centers on a prayer in which persons commit themselves fully to God:

I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,

exalted for thee or brought low for thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things

to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth,

let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
