Membership Enrollment Idea

This is meant to be a fun and lighthearted way to "install" new women into your sisterhood.
Make it unique to the personalities of your fellowship.

Bring a hat and scarf and anything else fun and creative for each new member. Have all members stand in a circle with the new women in the center of the circle.

Begin by singing or reciting as a group:
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.
We are sisters together and graced by our Lord.
And we pray that our unity will be a strong cord.
And they'll know we are sisters by our love, by our grace,
And they'll know we are sisters of Yahweh!
Then the leader says:
[name of new member(s)] wish to join our sisterhood. They desire to be a beautiful and graceful influence in their home and community. Sisters, do you agree to their becoming a part of our sisterhood?

Members join hands, raise them and say: Ya-Ya!!

Leader then says:
You have heard the affirmation of your sisters and are now invited to be a part of the Ya-Yas Sisterhood of [name of corps]. Please accept your hat (or whatever you've brought to signify membership) and join our circle!

Prayer:
Father, we thank you for these new members who honor you in their life, home, and community through their worship, fellowship, education and service. Teach us all, Lord, how to bring truth and grace to our home and ocmmunity. Help us to build a welcoming place filled with your love and grace. We dedicate these new members to you and ask that they be blessed beyond measure for it's in your Son's name that we pray. Amen.

Welcome new members with programs, pins, membership booklet, etc.
