Covenant Service
The start of a new year gives us the opportunity of starting afresh.
From the earliest days of the Methodist movement, John Wesley invited the Methodist people to an annual service for the renewal of our Covenant with God, normally on the first Sunday of each year. Much of the original material for this service was sourced from 17th century Puritans and there have been several revisions since. The high point of this service comes as we say the Covenant Prayer together. We undertake this renewal relying on the grace of God and trusting his promises. When we say "put me to suffering", we are not asking God to inflict pain on us, but rather that we would be strengthened by his grace through patient endurance.
Covenant Prayer
A prayer which is normally said on the first Sunday of the year but one that can be prayed at any stage of the year as a sign of committment to living 'wholeheartedly' as a follower of Jesus.
Ideas for Prayer Stations
For a journey of reflection through the renewal our Covenant to God and the Covenant Prayer.

Ministers Retirement Benefit Scheme
The Trustees of The Methodist Church in Ireland aim to invest the assets of the Scheme prudently to ensure that the benefits promised to members are provided. In setting investment strategy, the Trustees first considered the lowest risk asset allocation that they could adopt in relation to the Scheme's liabilities. The asset allocation strategy they have selected is designed to achieve a higher return than the lowest risk strategy while maintaining a prudent approach to meeting the Scheme's liabilities.
