Welcome to Secret Sisters this year.  Rachel Bear and Vicki Fellers will be leading the charge for the program this year.  Our focus…encouragement!!  We all need encouragement to make it through our lives.  We want to cement a friendship with our sisters in Christ by focusing on praying and encouraging one another.  We would love to have you participate with us.  We have a Facebook page that only those who participate in the secret sister program will be invited to see.  This page can be used to ask for prayers for things going on in your lives, encouraging notes that speak to you, as well as reminders from Rachel and Vicki.  We would also ask you to fill out our secret sister survey so your secret sister can get to know you better.  The very act of encouraging each other initiates a relationship, but knowing more about your secret sister enables you to more specifically be able to encourage her.  We would like the survey filled out and back to Rachel Bear’s mailbox by Sunday, March 2.  Vicki and Rachel will then distribute secret sisters on Sunday, March 9.  While you can give gifts throughout the year, our goal is to simply have you put an encouraging note card (or a sticky note, for that matter) once a month (or more, if you desire) in your secret sister’s mailbox here at church letting her know that you are thinking of her and praying for her.  You will find prayer cards on the slat wall in the north lobby.  If you have a specific prayer request that you want shared with the secret sister who has you, give Rachel Bear or Vicki Fellers a note and they will get it to your secret sister so she knows how best to pray for you.  Encouraging our fellow sisters in Christ is such a precious thing to God—and we need it more than we realize at times.  There is strength in numbers—let us pray and encourage you this year through Secret Sister!

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.

Matthew 18:20 (ESV)
