Neighborhood Teams

For many years we have had the privilege of being part of a mid-week Bible Study - currently these are called Neighborhood Teams.  They have been called Neighborhood Groups, Small Groups, Home Teams, Bible Study.... all the same thing - people who love Jesus doing life together. 

So we came up with the top ten reasons to be part of a Neighborhood Team:

10 - Team meets on the same night at the Homeowners Association (HOA) - what an excuse to not go to the HOA meeting and not feel guilty!

9 - Friends in the team will watch the dogs when you want to go out of town on  short notice.

8 - The computer geek who is wonderful to know when your hard drive crashes on a Saturday morning.

7 - Free roadside assistance when you break down, the best reason to have everyone's number in your phone.

6 - You get to love on children who don't belong to you - great when yours have moved out.

5 - You get to attend children sporting events (soccer, baseball, football) and show up when the game starts without snacks....you can even leave early if it starts raining.

4 - Ladies Night pedicures.

3 - Food - potlucks, snacks, s'mores around the fire (who cares it was May?)

2 - A safe place to share life - the laughter, the tears, the fears, to know a bunch of people have your back.

1 - Unconditional love, encouragement, support and prayer.

All of the above make me wonder why everyone isn't in a Neighborhood Team!!

God is good.
