Personal Mission Statement
So here is the first part of my New Years Resolution, and I would like your help to refine and clarify. Here is what I have so far:
Leading the people of God in being a community of holiness, shaped by and embodied in our commitment to the Wesleyan practices of (a) sacramental worship, (b) faithful evangelism, (c) mutual discipleship.

Sounds good to me! I have thought for a long time, that what made the early Methodist such a power movement was John's and Charles' commitment to sacramental worship, evangelism of the lost and discipleship in the form of their class meetings. Of course their concern for the poor and needy is very much a reflection of all three of these things working together in perfect love for God & neighbor.
On another note, what daily office will you be using for morning & evening prayer?
Peace,
Steven
I use rite 2 in the BCP for morning prayer. I adapt it a little for private use since it is written for a public service, and I don't always sing - when I do, I use a hymnal (often a hymnal of Weslyan Hymns published by Lillenas) instead of the canticles and other songs provided in the office. Other than that, a basic rite 2.
