Our Home TEAMS!

Last night, I was at one of our Home TEAMs and had a wonderful time! The people there were sharing in real community the way we hope it gets done in all the Home TEAMs! It was good to see the group planning how to reach out beyond the walls of their Home TEAM in much the same way 5 Point Fellowship as a church is attempting to reach out beyond the walls of our congregation! As our Home TEAM ministry grows, it can be tempting to hang out with "our group"! After all, we have invested time and energy in those people and they are now our friends. Don't forget that once you were strangers too! Reach out to include others in your Home TEAM. A while back, I mentioned the idea of "Operation Lunch". It was a simple idea, ask someone/a couple/family that you don't know to join you for lunch after church. Also invite someone who is active in your Home TEAM. That way, when later, you invite that person to Home TEAM, they aren't just showing up at someones house to meet a bunch of people that they don't know...they are seeing friends they already have a connection with. That is what Home TEAMs are all about; building connections. Have an Awesome week!
