Secret Pals – Note Date Change
The Secret Pal program is underway! For those of you who are secret pals
we have a few notes for you.
Remember that the Secret Pals program is not primarily a gift giving
program; it is an opportunity to share your faith with your child. Letters of encouragement, sharing
your favorite bible verses, stories of how God has worked in your life,
prayers that you pray or would like to pray every night with your pal,
faith clues regarding who you are, etc. are all examples of things you can
do with your secret pal. You
may also give small gifts that encourage the faith such as faith books,
faith/prayer bookmarks, etc.
There is one time during the program when you will be asked to
provide some sort of faith related gift: during the Secret Pals Reveal Meal on Sunday, June 3, 2012
after worship. If you have any questions, please speak with
Aubrey Carrington.

daughter or grandchild) and help raise them in the faith, treating them as
if you would die for them.

daughter or grandchild) and help raise them in the faith, treating them as
if you would die for them.
3. Choose one family either within the church or without whom
you could mentor in the faith (youth choose a friend).
