Our Church Convent
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profssion of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfuly cnter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
We engage therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit walk together in to Christian love: to strive for the advancement of this church, in knowledge, holiness, and comfort: to promote its prosperity and spirituality: to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines: to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and
the spread of the gospel through all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotioa: to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances to walk circumspectly in the world: to be just in our
dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tauling. backbiting, and excessive anger, to abstian from the sale, and use of intoxicating drink as a beverage, and to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love: to remember each other in prayer: to aid each other in sickness and distress: to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech: to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior, to secure it without delay.
We futher engage that, when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible, unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word
