United Church of Pittsford

BE A BLESSING AND BE BLESSED

The Secret Sister ministry has been a wonderful way for women of our church to develop new friendships and to express Christian love. Whether you are a teenager or a senior, live in town or far away, you can become a member of this special ministry. There is nothing better than knowing that someone is praying for you every day.

Forms are available in Howard Hall or click here for a form that you can fill-in on line and then print, or print a blank form and fill it in by hand. Secret Sisters will be chosen randomly and you will receive information regarding your Secret Sister on July 17, 2011 in your UCP mailbox (or mailed to you if necessary). For more information contact Carol Peterson at 739-7244.

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

"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 late 2011. Otherwise, please, no purchased gift giving.
