Northfield Methodist Church

Dear Friends

The human race has made huge progress in many areas, yet we are still surprisingly bad at getting along with one another. We seem to spend much time and energy hurting one another - from family quarrels to wars and often we carry, dee, unresolved guilt and pain in our heart.

Dear Northfielders

Next Sunday is our Covenant Celebration! It is that one very special Sunday in the year when we renew our promise to love and serve the God we have come to know in Jesus Christ. We will use the following words to do this -

I am no longer my own but yours;

Put me to what you will.

Rank me with whom you will.

Put me to doing,

Put me to suffering;

Let me be employed for you

Or laid aside for you;

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 your pleasure and disposal.
