Dear Phuture Prayer Group,
Words cannot even describe how excited I am to be your leader next fall! For those who are not in Sigma Phi Lambda, one thing we do is that once a week for 90 minutes, we meet with a prayer group. Each semester, we are assigned to a new prayer group. Prayer groups have about five girls in them plus a leader.
Basically, what we do in prayer groups is, we talk about and have discussions about Jesus, faith, our life, questions we have, our testimonies, prayer requests, devotionals, really anything Jesus-related! Prayer groups are not a Bible study and do not take the place of one.
One of the requirements for membership in Phi Lamb is that we are required to go to an outside Bible study or small group once a week, and prayer groups do not take the place of that. Being a part of a prayer group is one of my favorite parts about my sorority, and I always look forward to meeting with my group once a week. I have always had a great prayer group experience every semester I have been in Phi Lamb. I always feel safe and at home when I am with my prayer groups. My previous leaders have helped me through a lot and I always feel that I can be both open and honest when I am with my prayer group every week.
For the new members in my group, I am so excited to help show you around your new home here in the Lamb Pham! Prayer groups are a huge part of what we do, and they play such a major role in finding your place here in Phi Lamb.
I met some of my closest friends though my prayer group during my first semester in Phi Lamb, and I hope the same thing happens to you! I cannot wait to see you grow over the course of the semester! I cannot wait to finally meet you and hear your story of how you came to know Christ! I cannot wait to see you hopefully find your home here in Phi Lamb! I know that your first semester in Phi Lamb will be the busiest and time management is definitely key, but please do not give up, because being a part of this sorority is so rewarding in so many ways and I strongly believe that you will be able to find your place here in the Lamb Pham.
For the actives in my group, first off, I am so happy you decided to stick around Phi Lamb for another semester! Whether we were close before or not, I am looking forward to getting to know you even better than before! If there is anything I learned from my previous prayer groups that I have been a part of, it is that we all struggle with something and that we all have gone through some kind of heartbreak at some point in our life, whether it be a painful breakup, loss of someone close, rejection, addiction, abuse or mistake that you regret. I just want you, as well as the new members, to know that you always free to share anything with me or our group. I promise I will listen to every word! I promise that I will not judge.
I am really excited to be your prayer group leader. I promise that I will try my absolute best to best role model and live up to the values that Phi Lamb holds. I hope that this upcoming semester will be one to remember and that we all can make some awesome memories together! This prayer group is not about me, it is about all of you! I cannot wait to find out who is in my group and to have our first meeting. Overall, I am just really looking forward to being your leader and what is soon to come!
Love,
Bailey
