When I realized that this team could do neither, it turned our time together into a stressful, painful event. Since we never finished anything, I never felt any sort of completion or the satisfaction of a job well done. Great teams attack life together. They party together, they drink coffee together, they talk. We entertain each others families.
Great teams live life together.
The great teams in the church that I have been on have worshipped, prayed, and served together. Christ unified us and brought us to community. It wasn't a function or a task that just drove us. We cared and loved each other. Living life together makes a group bigger than a task, it melds them into family.
