All Star Team

Growing up playing sports I had the opportunity to play on lots of teams. Basketball teams for my school, local Boys and Girls club teams, travel teams and teams that were formed at the park. There were also soccer teams, baseball teams, football teams and that one crazy time I joined the choir. The choir was certainly a team and a very generous group because my singing ability was less than helpful.

After being on all these teams, I have a great idea of what strong teams look like and how they function. I've also been a part of some teams that had selfish members and those unwilling to listen to coaches. Those teams won some games, from time to time but never became as good as they could have been. They never reached their full potential, actually they never came close to their potential.

The last two weeks at Silver Creek, have been some of the most amazing examples of team I've seen. Remarkable numbers of people stepped into roles and took on new challenges. Other people gave time, energy and resources at incredible levels. Leaders did their jobs, made decisions and moved things forward. When it was all said and done, the results of FUSiON, the Egg Hunt and our Easter Sunday far exceeded our potential. This team has the added benefit of God's strength, power and purpose but the team had to be willing to work together and we did.

Two weeks ago, during FUSiON and the Egg Hunt, we had 837 people attend and be a part of our family production. Plus there were people that never made it inside because they were so busy keeping everything going outside in order to keep the Egg Hunt running smoothly. Then Easter Sunday, 387 people came to Silver Creek, many of those enjoying a fantastic breakfast. Understand we aren't a church that's all about numbers and attendance. Other than every single number represents a person and we are all about people because that's what God's all about.

Those of you that made yourselves a part of the incredible team, that made the past two Sundays possible and helped to exceed our potential, understand that your contribution has changed eternity for many individuals. That definitely qualifies us as an All Star Team. Enjoy the win!
