Team Time Out Recap


Sunday’s Team Time Out was a blast! Along with tug-of-war, three-legged races, dodge ball, and relays, there were delicious burgers, yummy corn, and all kinds of sides and desserts. Thank you to everyone who came and contributed to the fun and food!

Besides the great eats, I particularly loved watching the egg-on-a-spoon relay. An interesting phenomenon began occurring several rounds into the race – one team figured out that if someone walked alongside and coached the person balancing the egg, they would make it back faster and without dropping the egg. It was like that extra bit of encouragement and support helped carry the egg and the racer back to the finish line. It worked so well the other team started doing it too!

Is someone in your life barely balancing, hanging on and trying just to make it through each day? Maybe it’s a kid in HD or a family you know at Radiant. Let’s come alongside them and encourage their spirits!

“It's better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough!

Two in a bed warm each other. Alone, you shiver all night.

By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (MSG)
