Our Covenant
Casting Our Nets on a Sea of Change ~ Peninsula District
All Peninsula churches were asked to write a covenant for their church for
the evangelistic priority for the Peninsula District United Methodist Churches.
On Sunday June 4, 2006 we met at a District Pentecost Celebration to present our covenants.
Covenant of St. Luke's United Methodist Church
In response to God's continued grace, claim, and call experienced
throughout Biblical history, nurtured by the Holy Spirit,
culminating in Christ, and the establishment of the Church as God's
continuing incarnation, and the discovery of how we have broken
covenant to fully participate in kingdom-building, we the people of
St. Luke's United Methodist Church covenant to:
- Overcome our fears and selfishness. Be bold about praying for others, seeking opportunities to speak to them about Christ and to invite them to St. Luke's.
- Keep evangelism and hospitality at the forefront of our minds and our ministries, helping every member of our congregation to recognize that each of us has this responsibility.
- Welcome all who enter our church in Christ's name, having open minds and open hearts.
- Put God's will first, above our own purposes. Be accountable and avoid blaming others.
- Strengthen our own faith and commitment to worship, study, prayer, fellowship, and service so others may see Christ in us.
