🌺 Welcome to Secret Sister Luau at CCY! 🌺
A Season of Sunshine & Sisterhood
"Encourage one another and build each other up..." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11
🌺Aloha, Sister!
This Secret Sister season at Christ's Church of Yukon is all about spreading sunshine, kindness, and encouragement. Just like a luau brings people together in celebration, Secret Sister is a chance to bless another woman through prayer, notes, and thoughtful surprises — all leading up to our Luau Reveal Party!
This is not a gift-heavy program. It's about showing up for one another with Scripture, kindness, and consistent prayer.
This season, we're choosing to be sunshine in someone's life. 🌸
🌴 What Is Secret Sisters?
When you sign up, you will be paired with another woman at CCY. For the season, you will encourage her in small but intentional ways - like a note, a kind text, a Scripture, or an act of kindness - while keeping your identity a secret until the reveal event.
