Teamwork

Have you ever heard the saying, “teamwork makes the dream work”? It’s a great catchy phrase often used in the business world today, but is actually a really ancient concept. The apostle Paul speaks of it in his letter to the church in Corinth. He says in chapter 12, verse 27: “Now you are the body of Christ and each of you is a part of it.” Throughout chapter 12, Paul speaks of how each of us is like a different body part all working together. If one part fails to do its part, the whole body suffers. If all the parts do their “thing” the body is an amazing thing to behold.

So this week, I’ve had the remarkable privilege of seeing the body of Christ at work. Teamwork DOES make the dream work, and I have an amazing team to work with at Sunnybrook Community Church. Today we launched our 7th annual Skill School event with over 700 kindergarten thru 5th graders, and it was an amazing day. This team made what began as a crazy vision into this:




This gargantuan pirate ship set is just one small piece of the puzzle of the week, but what a grand piece it is! The incredible actors (mostly our staff) and worship team who graced the throngs of that ship today were astounding. The 278 volunteers that showed up today to make it all happen were extraordinary. I am so blessed to be able to witness such an awesome work of God through this body each and every year, and it only gets better. Kudos to God’s body at Sunnybrook!
