Sports teams are a lot like families. The members of a team bring unique gifts that help define the team's identity. They rejoice together in victory. They support each other when times get tough. Teams build strength through all of their shared experiences. It is a team's strength, not just its record, that is the measure of their success and enjoyment in a season.
The key ingredients to building team strength are generosity and enthusiasm. Jealousy and rivalry tear us down. Generosity and enthusiasm are the opposites of jealousy and rivalry. Discover what it means to be generous and enthusiastic on your team. Make it a goal to encourage generosity and enthusiasm in your teammates, friends and families.
During the school year, the Athletics Ministry will offer a weekly inspiration in the church bulletin and school newsletter. Please take the time to discuss it with your children and remember: pray together, play together!
