TEAM MEETINGS STARTED

“DARE TO SOAR WITH CHRIST”

Sept. 30 - Oct. 3

We had a GREAT first full team meeting. We got a chance= for the team members to introduce themselves to each other, having a little fun letting everyone know which animal each was most like (horse, bear, lion, rabbit, or kangaroo). We ended up with lots of rabbits, the horses couldn’t follow directions, and the kangaroos were all a little hyper= .

Jerry and Susie Ferguson did a little skit about the roles that we have on the team, and the importance of each. We had the team break up into groups to determine the skills they bri= ng to the team. These were offered up in a commissioning service. Our goal is = that everyone will use his or her talents to help us all be one team.

Throughout the meeting, we had a lot of fun, had lots of music and prayer, and started bonding as a team. We’re looking forward to our next team meeting, so we can continue that process.<= o:p>

By fully understanding what it means to sponsor, you will be better able to support your candidate during the weekend and afterwards. Sponsors prepare candidates for the weekend by answering their questions, easing any fears or doubts the candidates may have, and generally assuring = them that you are available to meet the needs of their families in their absence= .

To be a sponsor is to be a servant.=
