Secret Sisters

Over 40 of you have signed up to participate in the Secret Sisters Ministry.  

The drawing took place just in time for Valentine’s Day & the ICU Table in the Lobby was filled to overflowing with gifts.  What a great way to begin!

& what a great way to show your love for One Another. 

Just to recap what the Secret Sister Ministry is all about:

Welcome to our Secret Sister Ministry at NAFCON!

You have been given a “sister” to pray for & encourage.  It is wonderful to have someone that prays for you, & to send you an encouraging note from time to time.  We’ll be keeping our “sisters” a secret; so don’t let anyone know.  At the end of the program year (Jan. 2011), we will reveal our “sisters” & draw our new “sister” for 2011.

What are your Responsibilities as a Secret Sister?

• Know that it is a commitment.  The lady you are assigned will be expecting you to uphold her in your prayers & she should be able to rely on you & be comforted by you for encouragement.
• Pray daily for your sister.  Get to know her needs & her family’s needs so that you may pray specifically for them.
• Make an effort to get to know your sister.  Discover her likes & dislikes.  Know her favorite things.  Find out all about her.
• Be an encouragement of light for your sister.  Send her cards or notes of encouragement.
• Remember your sister on her special occasions.  Buy a small gift (no more than $15) for birthdays, anniversaries & Christmas.
• Keep it a Secret!  Don’t let anyone know who you have.  Leave your cards, notes or gifts on the ICU Women’s Ministry table in the lobby when no one is around or have someone else deliver them.
• If you are unable to continue, contact Delora Gilzow.  If you are unable to continue participating in the Secret Sister Ministry or are absent for a long time; you should contact Delora at deloragilzow@hotmail.com or 614 390-9319 so that your sister is taken care of in your absence or is given a new sister.
• Above all, have fun & enjoy getting to know your sisters!  You can be the instrument that God has placed in this person’s life to give them the encouragement they need right when they need it.
