Ministers’ Covenant Day†
 
Tuesday, September 16 — Psalm 107:1-9
1 Samuel 5:1-7:1; Luke 24:28-35
 
You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Exodus 20:7
 
Hallowed be your name. Matthew 6:9
 
Dearest Jesus, may the mere hearing of your name remind us of who you are. Your name reminds us that we are to love others as you loved us and serve others just as you served us. Amen.
 
†  During a synodal conference in London, Jesus Christ was recognized as chief elder of the Brethren’s Church. The day is observed as a covenanting day for servants of the church.
