ALD
Aldersgate Sunday​
On the evening of May 24, 1738 while attending a prayer meeting on Aldersgate Street in
London, something occurred that changed John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist
movement. He described it in his journal:
​
In the evening I went very unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, where one was reading
Luther’s Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine, while he was
describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart
strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was
given me, that he had taken away my sins, even mine and saved me from the law of sin and
death. (Journal May 24, 1738)

It Is Well, Canon in D UMH 377
Spafford/Bliss VILLE DU HAVRE 
​
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul

It is well, It is well
With my soul, With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Prayer
A Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition

I am no longer my own but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee. Exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth let it be ratified in heaven. Amen

​Scripture
Romans 5:1-11 NIV
Peace and Hope
​
5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

He Touched Me
​
Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same.

He touched me, oh, he touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened, and now I know
He touched me, and made me whole.

To God Be The Glory UMH 98
Crosby/Doane 
​
To God be the glory,
Great things he hath done!
So loved He the world that
he gave us his Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.
​
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through
Jesus the son, and give him the glory,
​great things he hath done!
