Thought For the Week

Prayer changes things and it changes us. Today, instead

of turning things over in your mind, turn them over to God in

prayer. Instead of worrying about your next decision, ask God to lead the way. Don’t limit your prayers to meals or to bedtime.

Pray constantly about things great and small, and encourage your family to do so as well. God is listening, and He wants to hear

from you.

Scriptures

Watch ye therefore, and pray always…… - Luke 21:36 KJV

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV

…for your father knows what you need, before you ask Him.

-Matthew 6:8

Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

-        Matthew 7:7

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you: he will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

-Psalm 55:22

The Church Covenant

“And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.”

-        11 Chronicles 15:12

Minster: What common experience leads us into spiritual fellowship and covenant relations with God and one another?

Congregation:  Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and on the profession of our faith having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, we do now, in the presence of God, Angels, and this assembly most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.

Minister: By what pledge do we turn from the ways of the world?

Congregation: We promise by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love.

Minister:  What are some of the privileges and duties in this our own church

Congregation:  To strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship; ordinances, discipline and doctrines.

Minister:  What vows do we gladly make as stewards of that which God has entrusted to us?

Congregation:  To contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel throughout all nations.

Minister:  For the sake of our homes and our loved-ones, what tasks do we humbly assume?

Congregation:  We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions, to religiously educate our children, to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances.

Minister:  For the sake of the unsaved, for whom Christ died, to what manner of life and conversations are we solemnly pledged?

Congregation:  To walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings; faithful in our engagements and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.

Minister:  Since one is our Master, even Christ, and all we are brethren, by what fraternal ministries are we to strengthen each other and adorn the teachings of our Lord and Saviour?

Congregation:  We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer, to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliations, and mindful of the rules of our Saviour, to secure it without delay.

Minister:  For the good of our own spiritual development, and, for the best interest of the Master’s Kingdom, what do we promise to do, if we move beyond the reach of this church?

Congregation:  We moreover engage that when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible, unite with some other church, where we can carry out the spirit of this Covenant, and the principles of God’s Word.

Minister and Congregation:  We pray for forgiveness of our past and for grace and strength to keep these vows, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
