THE SECRET IS OUT!!!!!!

Twenty five Secret Sisters were revealed on October 18. The evening was filled with many hugs, much laughter and great stories! Everyone is enthusiastic to receive a new Secret Sister, so we are getting started again right away. Won't you join us this time?

Don't miss out on the "next round" of Secret Sister!

BE A BLESSING AND BE BLESSED

"A word spoken in due season, how good it is" Proverbs 15:23

All of the ladies of the church are invited to participate in this ministry of caring and sharing with their sisters in Christ.

What do I do if I choose to become a Secret Sister?

1. Know that it is a commitment. Your Secret Sister will be so blessed to know you are praying for her and she can rely on you for encouragement.

2. Pray daily for your sister. Get to know her and her family’s needs so that you may pray specifically for them. The tricky part is doing this without her knowing you are her Secret Sister! You can be the instrument that God has placed in your sister's life to give her the encouragement she needs right when she needs it. Praying daily for your sister will strengthen you, and the rewards are immeasurable.

3. Be an encouragement to your sister. Encourage her the old-fashioned way through the U.S. mail. Stock up on some cards so you have them on hand or write a quick note on any note paper. The important thing is that your Secret Sister hears from you on a regular basis.

4. Keep it a secret and have FUN with it!

5. Give one gift. You will purchase and bring one gift (no more than $10) for your sister at our Secret Sisters "Reveal" Party in May 2010. Otherwise, please, no purchased gift giving.

6. Contact a Secret Sister coordinator if you are unable to continue. Let Debra Hegley or Pam Ernst know, so another sister can be found.

When does this start and how do I sign up?

You fill out a form with some information about you. Click here for a printable form (or download the MS Word version if you want to type in the info before printing). The forms will be collected in the flowered gift bag in Howard Hall on the table under the photo board.  Secret Sisters will be chosen randomly November 1, 2009. You will receive your Secret Sister's form on November 8, 2009 in your UCP mailbox.  The form will give you her address and some information she has chosen to share.  This is one way you can get to know her better.  Then simply include her in your prayers and send her notes.
