Build Something

In our second week of ConnectGroup, we talked about how important "team" is.  Whether we are talking about a sports team, a team at work or a family team, going it alone can be difficult and unfulfilling.  But building a team can be difficult.  It can take hundreds of good decisions and deliberate actions to get team members to see the purpose and to get fully on board.  Encouragement is one of the essential ingredients, and this week we were each encouraged to think about people that had encouraged us in the past, and how that felt.  Then, we were encouraged to find a person in our sphere of influence that we could encourage and lift up.  I was thinking this morning about how our community is just a little closer to God this week, even if only a small number of people followed through on that.  I was also thinking of the change in me if I can make the act of encouragement into a habit.  Want to join in?Buil
