Sample Covenant #4

Knowing that throughout history God has entered covenant relationships with his people, and because we are called by God to be and make disciples of Jesus, we form this group. Our covenant provides the framework for a balanced spiritual life, enabling us to be better disciples. With God as our guide we promise to approach one another honestly in a spirit of Christian love, and to provide accountability and encouragement to grow in faith.

Acts of Compassion

  • Realizing that Jesus has called me to give my life to him and at the same time that I am to live in the world, I will seek to balance the time I devote to church, work, family, friends, strangers and recreation. I acknowledge that my spiritual needs (prayer, quiet time, worship) must be met to totally live for Him.
  • In my interactions with others I will practice listening and improving communications.
  • I will be alert for opportunities to reflect Christ on a daily basis.

Acts of Justice

  • When I am aware of injustice, I will take action as I am led by the Holy Spirit.

Acts of Worship

  • I will be faithful in my worship each week.
  • With gratitude for God’s goodness to me, I will be faithful in my giving.
  • I will participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion each month.

Acts of Devotion

  • I will practice daily devotions (the reading of scripture, meditation, prayer, including special prayers for group members) always listening for God’s direction for my life.

Spiritual Promptings and Warnings

  • I will remember that whatever I do is dedicated to God.
  • I will listen for God’s voice and watch for God’s presence in my life.

Trusting in grace, I pledge to support each member as I leave the confines of comfort in my search to do God’s will in the world. By affixing my signature to this document, the singular "I" becomes the communal "we".
