Sense of Fun

I feel like this is gonna be the easiest core value blog entry to write. We should have a sense of fun in everything we do, and everything works better when everyone is having fun together.

I'm always excited to get together with a creative arts team, whether it's a Thursday rehearsal, hanging in the video production room on Sunday, or helping put a set together. It's fun for me- I like to be with other people on the team, working for a common goal, and doing really neat activities.

I hope everybody reading this feels the same way!

Here's the thing- the key to having a great time in Creative Arts at Crossroads is to internalize the first three core values. If we have love for one another, if we are on time and doing things at the right time, and if we are always prepared when we serve, fun will follow.

I've seen what happens when one or more of those values is missing. People are snarky. Rehearsals bog down because someone didn't prepare and we have to repeat the songs over and over, or stop all the time to correct errors. Time gets short because people showed up late, and the resulting rush to get it all done kills the joy. Life is short...who wants to waste their valuable free time that way? Nobody!

So let's encourage one another toward fun- Yeehaa!
