31st New Year’s Eve
Many church denominations hold a Watchnight Service on New Year’s Eve – a service of several hours with time to reflect on the past year and to pray in confidence for the year to come.
The Methodist has a Covenant Prayer used to renew one’s commitment to God. This is done on as part of a community of individuals – . But it comes not as our first step to God but as our response to the first step already made by God. For God is already committed to us – “I will be their God and they shall be my people” – and indeed through Jesus Christ offers us a guide and example as to how we can best share in that relationship with God.
