Teamness


Oh magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.

Psalm 37:3 (NAS)


This morning, Sally, our Director of Connecting Ministries, sent me five logo alternatives to go with our new church purpose/process statement. They are all good, professionally done, and a couple I would call exceptional, but there’s something even better here. Something unspoken. Something subtly hidden in this happy, little email. Teamwork. Togetherness. Trying to do the best thing for the group, the whole, the body. A willingness to give ideas, to offer and receive suggestions, but in the end, surrendering to what must be His will. And in the process, growing closer. Growing closer to each other and growing closer to Christ. And ultimately, growing in Christlikeness. Together. One in Spirit. United for the good of all. For the glory of God.

I reread Sally’s email, and I smile!


Father God, thank You for teammates, and for this wonderful body of believers—dear sisters and brothers—my family, our family, the family of God....
