After agreeing to enter this covenant, inform the District Office by phone or mail. After agreement to be in covenant with each other, the pastors are asked to contact each other. Share with each other pertinent information about the church and ministries that would enable prayer to be focused and informed. A key person from one covenant church may visit their covenant church to offer words of encouragement to the Ad Council or worshipping congregation. There may be an occasion in which the pastors would exchange pulpits on a given Sunday.
Prayer is the foundation of our life and ministry together.
I trust that each church, congregation, pastor, and lay person will eagerly embrace this concept. Copyright 2001 by Portsmouth District United Methodist Church. All rights reserved. Click here to go back to HOME PAGE .
