bbq

It goes without saying that a church staff needs to meet outside of a "working" context to really get to know one another. I know most staff go away on retreats, or pray 'n play's which we hope to do one day. A few days away in the highlands sounds glorious.

The reality is, when most of the team works part-time or full-time positions outside of putting in numerous hours for Eikon, organizing a date when everyone can meet for an evening is insanely hard. Yvonne is a professor, Claire is a nurse, Mike works at a restaurant, I'm at school (though on break for the summer, ahhh) Tony is at school, and Kate does a lot of web design.

The stars aligned a few nights ago, and our entire team got together at Tony and Yvonne's for a bbq. What a blast! Being able to laugh and joke is so essential to our team. And we do it well. Non-stop laughing. Brian and Amy were able to join us along with Tony and Yvonne's kids, Luke and Jess, and Mike and Claire.

I love the team we have!
