New Home Team Format

(Yesterday morning we had about 10 different families out sledding on the church hills. It was great. Everyone was taking pictures too. If you went out and did something fun in the snow...send us ONE picture that is your favorite to KCClark@teamchurch.com and we will post them on our Facebook.)

Did you see the Home Team ad in the Sunday Handout? We have made some changes to how we run our Home Teams. I want to encourage you to go to the Home Team page on on web site and read about it. I really like what Aldyn and her team have come up with as we continually seek to make Home Teams a viable option for all people. The best part is that you have the option of staying with a Home Team forever and ever.....or you can switch when your life setting changes, you want to study something different or you just want to meet some new people on a different day.

This new format will allow all the new people who are coming to Team Church to quickly get in a Home Team because every "Season" we add many new ones and all the old ones are available. I know I personally love the fact that the Home Team "Season" run with our very popular Team Kid and Pursuit for Students. Many parents are taking advantage of having all their kids in one of these groups on Wednesday nights....then they join their Home Team on the same night. Having all of this in 8-10 week "Seasons" keeps it fresh and key volunteers get 3-4 weeks in between to catch their breath.

Whatever you do....don't stay on the relational sideline and not get into a Home Team. They are fun, vital to relational growth, very important to Biblical growth and the best place for true Fellowship and care. For those who are parents....there is nothing better for your kids to see you setting time aside to being involved.
