AN UNBROKEN EGG

Last night three members of our Pastoral Team (Linda Savaet, Liz Sargent, and Laurie Mahosky) led our monthly Team Leader Team meeting (we have twelve teams that lead our church)!

As we entered, we were offered candy.  The color we chose determined the table where we were to sit.  The others at our table became our team!

All the necessary ingredients for pizza were on the table.  After a brief devotional on teamwork, we were set free to build the perfect pizza.  [They were baked and served at the end of the evening].

Then each team was given $150 in play money.  We were given the opportunity to purchase items in an auction.  We would use these items to build a recepticle into which we would drop an egg from our 'Eagle's Nest" (sound booth) - a ten foot drop!

VERY COMPETITIVE bidding took place for premium items like a five gallon bucket, some plastic shopping bags, bag of Easter egg grass, an old newspaper, and a box of rice crispees.

When the auction ended, we built our recepticles and moved to the Eagle's Nest where each team - in turn - dropped their egg (two times to eliminate ties).  Only one team dropped it twice without breaking the egg! 
One team resorted to prayer!
Then we went back to eat pizza and discuss how effectively we had worked together as teams.  Prizes were awarded and everyone helped clean up! 

It was a fantastic evening of learning about teamwork!
