Are You Part Of The Team?

Last Sunday, our pastor said something that I can still remember one week on - a rare thing for me.

Speaking about teamwork and the future direction of HXUCA, he asked, "Are you ready to go from being part of the team to being part of the Dream Team?"

Here's my interpretation of what that means.

When you're part of the Dream Team, you belong with those who

• make things happen
• drive positive change
• exert strong moral influence in the community
• attract support from people who share your values and love what you do.

This week, Pastor expanded on the teamwork idea further when he wrote in the newsletter that when we suggest ideas and activities for the church, it should be with the understanding that we are prepared to put in the legwork to make it happen. We should not depend only on the Church Council, the Elders Council or the pastor.

To that end, blank sheets have been put up on the noticeboard in church to encourage members to write down ideas and activities that they want to see in 2009 for the following areas:

• Service and Outreach
• Worship
• Education
• Hospitality
• Fellowship

Action Challenge

What about you, are you part of the Dream Team in your place of work/service?
