MEMBERSHIP PRAYER
From Dawn Fortenberry
Past National Chairman of Membership and Development
Heavenly Father, as we venture into growing our membership, we come before You asking for Your guidance, wisdom and support.
Fill us with your grace, Lord God, as we make contact with others.
Remind us that all we do, all that we accomplish, is for the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of your kingdom, and for the service of humanity.
Guide our hearts…our words…our actions, to be a shining light for all to see.
May the face of Christ shine through.
We ask Your Mother, our patroness, by her powerful intercession, to be with us as we witness to others.
We ask all these things in Your most Holy name.
Amen.

SICK AND SHUT-IN MEMBERS OUTREACH
Staying in touch with member's is an important aspect of our mission. Court Compton has a Sick and Shut-In committee comprised of rotating members who volunteer to call members.
These are members who have not been to our in-person or Zoom meetings. The volunteers rotate so that everyone has the opportunity to speak to members. It is important to connect to our sisters and provide them information on our Court activities and encourage them to participate via Zoom. Members show them how to sign into Zoom and to discuss any personal or health concerns that we can help with.
