We were in Nanaimo at Wild Play which is a park of some 'extreme' type activities. There were tree top rope courses and ziplines. There was a big swing that goes 140 kmh and 2 Gs of force. There was the canyon zipline in a total of almost 500 feet! It was great! What was really cool though was seeing many of the staff push themselves do things that were beyond their comfort zones! There were some tears and some shaky legs but people pushed on! At the end, Pastor Matt and Pastor Scott took the bungy plunge! It is not my thing, but they did it and hats off to them.
All in all though, it was good just to build relationships, support and encourage one another as we went beyond what our usual comfort zones. Relationships, support and encouragement are all things that we can use to help us go beyond what we think possible. It is amazing how much better we 'perform' when there are people cheering us on. Think of what would happen to people's lives if we consistently encouraged, supported and worked with them to achieve what God has put on their hearts. We're going to try to do that even better together as staff and a church family.
Relationships. Support. Encouragement. See what would happen in our relationships as we try this.
It is going to be great this year to work with each other to do our parts in the Kingdom of God. What a great group of people. What a great church to be a part of.
