When the idea of home teams was first introduced at my church, I let a lot of negative thoughts enter my head. Maybe because I knew I wouldn't be able to hide in the background of Sunday School anymore. I would have to participate and act like I was knowledgeable. I had a lot of really stupid ideas of why I thought this was a bad idea.
Of coarse I now think differently. I was watching Syriana last night. There is a scene where a group of men are gathered in a circle discussing faith and religion. Now I didn't agree with what they were talking about, but it got me thinking about Home Teams. Rather it is for good or evil, I think smaller groups can be more influential. ( as I am writing this, Heath just ate a dog biscuit!) I know I am more likely to be held accountable.
I think the hardest part of Home Teams is getting new members or visitors involved. I try to picture myself going to a new church and having to find a home team to go to. I'll be honest, it would take a lot for me to go to a strangers house and participate. I think I would have to make a connection at church first before I would go. You have to feel comfortable to share.
I pray in the next year God will help me make new connections and invite more people to Home Teams. I pray He helps me step out of my comfort zone!
