C O M THE WESLEY COVENANT SERVICE & COMMUNION CELEBRATION From our AME Book of Worship to Renew our Covenant with God and Celebrate the Body & Blood of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ! “On December 25, 1747, John Wesley strongly urged the Methodists to renew their Covenant with God. His first Covenant Service was held in the French Church at Spitalfields on August 11, 1755, which he published that year in the ‘Christian Library.’ Wesley issued this as a pamphlet in 1780, and the form was used without alteration for nearly a century. Various modifications were then made, till a form was prepared which gave the people a larger share in the devotions. That form has now been revived with deep sense of the importance of a service which has been a fruitful source of blessing to Methodism ever since 1755.” ~ The Book of Offices, The Methodist Church of Great Britain and Ireland THE WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS THE OCCASION – The Process of Our Covenant Renewal THE PASTOR THE SALUTATION All Standing Elder: Give honor to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  • Church Covenant Renewal: Why, What and How? Joshua 24:1-28
    February 1, 2015 College Park Church Church Covenant Renewal: Why, What and How? Joshua 24:1-28 Mark Vroegop We are taking a planned break from Romans 8 this Sunday so that we can talk about some very important ideas related to who we are as a church, where we are headed, and what that means for every one of us. This is a very important year for us as a church family. It marks the 30th anniversary of the planting of our church, and we are marking a special Sunday in the fall to celebrate God’s faithfulness. College Park Church was founded in 1985 through the Indiana Fellowship of Regular Baptist Churches and met at the Holiday Inn, in Casino Room B. The church outgrew that temporary location, moved to a nearby warehouse, and then purchased property at 96th and Towne. In 1992 the first sanctuary was built, and you can still see the original steeple when you drive onto this campus. Our nursery and children’s ministry space (by the tree) was the second sanctuary, and it was constructed in 1997. Three and a half years ago we moved into our present sanctuary. Over these thirty years, the church has grown from ten families to a weekly attendance of 4,000, and we now sense the Lord’s leading to reach the Fishers area with a new church campus. At the same time, our Elders are asking some very important questions about how to really care for and shepherd our large congregation and our growing membership. Why this Topic? Today I want lay out our biblical, historical, and practical vision for something we are calling “Covenant Renewal.” This is our first official step in an ongoing process of seeking to know how to care for the spiritual needs of a large church.

  • Single-Mindedness
    Believe Chapter 14: Single-Mindedness Key Verse: But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 The proper priority (6:33). Jesus’ reasoning culminates in the famous directive, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” This climactic admonition draws the listeners back to the key verse of the sermon, where Jesus declared, “Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:20). The use of the imperative “seek” does not mean to look for something not present, for Jesus has already announced the arrival of the kingdom. In this context it means that his disciples are to make the kingdom of heaven the center of their continual, daily priorities. They have already entered the kingdom of heaven and are to live with that reality, drawing on God’s ordering of their daily lives. In doing so they will “seek … his righteousness.” The conjunction of righteousness and the kingdom maintains a special theme in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:6, 10, 20; Matthew 6:1). It does not mean to pursue salvation, because the disciples’ entrance to the kingdom secured them that kind of “imputed” righteousness (Matthew 5:20). It means that they are to pursue their experiential growth of “imparted” righteousness, which is to pursue the increasing perfection of the Father (Matthew 5:48) through their practice of “acts of righteousness” (Matthew 6:1). The theological articulation of these themes becomes a major focus of the early church, especially Paul.

  • Campus Decision-Making Scenarios for AY 2020-2021
    Campus Decision-Making Scenarios for AY 2020-2021 Process: UMKC leadership will maintain weekly check-ins with KC Public Health, Rockhurst University, Avila University, and the Kansas City Art Institute; the purpose of check-in is to report campus positivity rate and patterns, community incidence and patterns, and healthcare capacity so that decision scenarios can be evaluated. The campus will be classified in one of three decision-making states: Green, Yellow, Red. The variables impacting these states are described below. For the purpose of evaluating decision-making states, the following assumptions have been established: 1. The jurisdiction for comparison and decision-making is Kansas City, Missouri and the Kansas City Department of Public Health. 2. The baseline campus incidence will be established Monday, September 14—three weeks after the start of the fall semester. This baseline will be used as a comparison between the campus and community and across time within our campus community. 3. The denominator for establishing incidence within a given time period will be the estimate of all students, faculty, and staff who are on campus at some point during the fall semester. The current estimate is 10,000, based on enrollment in face-to-face and hybrid courses and faculty/staff work arrangements. 4. The variables/thresholds included in the decision making scenarios can change over time as new information about COVID is known and/or as the KC Health Department provides updated guidance.

  • Rayne Newsletter 1.2.2019
    THEA BFi-WOeeklyR NewEsleCtterAST January 1, 2020 Rayne Memorial United Methodist Church 3900 Saint Charles Ave New Orleans LA 70115 // 504.899.3431 // www.raynenola.org A TIME OF RENEWAL WORSHIP It is that time of year: the seam between what has passed and what is to come. Sundays at 8:45a and 11:00a In some way, I’m less enchanted these days by thoughts of a new year than just in the Historic Sanctuary a new day. I wonder if this is some of what our forebear, John Wesley, kept in his heart when he constructed the service known as “covenant renewal.” OUR STAFF By most accounts, Wesley fashioned the liturgy from Richard Alleine’s work – he Rev. Dr. Jay Hogewood a Puritan and Wesley an Anglican. Seems that Wesley tinkered with the body of Senior Pastor the service, though much remained the same since 1753. By 1755, the covenant renewal began to flourish. Over the decades, Methodist Societies were using the [email protected] renewal service regularly on New Year’s Eve or Day. Each year, therefore, Rev. Marissa Teauseau marked the opportunity to commit again to the Lord. Associate Pastor [email protected] While I encourage each of us to visit the whole service* (and perhaps practice it Allison Bunnell together quite soon), below I simply offer what many believe to be the heart of the service – the invitation, the renewal prayer and covenant. Director of Children’s Music Elizabeth Cheezem Let us, therefore, go to Christ, and pray: Director of Children’s Ministries Shaun Darnall Let me be your servant, under your command.

  • Covenant Renewal Service
    COVENANT RENEWAL SERVICE In 1663 Richard Alleine, a Puritan, published Vindiciae Pietatis: or, “A Vindication of Godliness in the Greater Strictness and Spirituality of It”. In 1753, it was again published in John Wesley's A Christian Library. Wesley used one chapter, "The Application of the Whole," on Monday, August 11, 1755, in what probably was the first real celebration of the Covenant Service in the Methodist movement. Wesley found the service rich and meaningful, as expressed in his Journal: "Many mourned before God, and many were comforted" (April 1756); "It was, as usual, a time of remarkable blessing" (October 1765). "It was an occasion for a variety of spiritual experiences ... I do not know that ever we had a greater blessing. Afterwards many desired to return thanks, either for a sense of pardon, for full salvation, or for a fresh manifestation of His graces, healing all their backslidings" (January 1, 1775). In London these services were usually held on New Year's Day. Around the country the Covenant Service was conducted whenever John Wesley visited the Methodist Societies. After the time of Wesley several versions of the Covenant Service were developed, gradually giving Wesley's material less place in the total service. The present service follows our Basic Pattern of worship, enables the congregation to participate more fully, and updates language. Most significant, the liturgy beginning with the Invitation is taken directly from Wesley's service of 1780. The heart of the service, focused in the Covenant Prayer, requires persons to commit themselves to God. This covenant is serious and assumes adequate preparation for and continual response to the covenant.
