activity teams

Group activities

  • One of the aspects of this building project that is really important to the leaders, is to foster community and provide a way to enjoy the time we'll be spending together and reflect on what we're doing. To this end, we plan to have a morning meeting with team devotions, a lunch break together and a fun activity, and devotions and singing at the end of each work day. We have created teams for the purpose of planning and presenting a morning devotion and a lunch activity. These are NOT building teams (you can do a variety of building tasks regardless of the team you're on). We planned teams based on which days you'll be working, but if that has changed and you need to be moved to a different team, please let me know.

  • I'm hoping you can contact your team members soon via email, prior to the work week, to brainstorm ideas for the morning devotion and group activity at lunch time. This can be discussed at the planning meeting on the 17th as well.

  • No one has to "share" or speak in front of the group, but please allow everyone on your team to participate at whatever level they would like to (include everyone that wants to be included).

In your teams please plan a morning devotion and a lunch-time activity for your designated day (see below)

1. For the morning devotion, consider incorporating the following themes: inclusivity, love, power structures

· ideas: readings, scripture, poem, song, prayers, individual sharing of experiences, small skit.

· Plan for about 10 min or so.

2. Plan a small activity at lunch, to involve the whole group. It should be at most 20 min – it can be fun, an icebreaker/get to know you type of thing, or something related to housing; something that fosters cohesion/sense of community.
