I've had several experiences where something that used to seem to me like a dry, boring, old, "why in the world do we do this" practice has come to be something very meaningful for me. A prime example of that is the Wesleyan Covenant Renewal Service. I had a chance last week to help explain its history and meaning to our congregation, and particularly if you haven't yet had a chance to do something similar to set your intentions for 2012, feel free to take a look at what we did. And so that you'd have it, here's a pdf of the portion of the Covenant Renewal Service that we use in this video.
