THE START OF A NEW YEAR GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY OF STARTING AFRESH.
From the earliest days of the Methodist movement, John Wesley invited the Methodist people to an annual service for the renewal of our Covenant with God, usually on the first Sunday of each year.
Much of the original material for this service was sourced from 17th century Puritans and there have been several revisions since. The high point of this service comes as we say the Covenant Prayer together.
We undertake this renewal relying on the grace of God and trusting his promises. When we say ”put me to suffering”, we are not asking God to inflict pain on us, but rather that we would be strengthened by his grace through patient endurance.
