First Christian Church Basketball Camp and Pick-up Outreach

It's been two weeks since we completed basketball camp at First Christian Church of Owasso and I'd like to just give a little shout out to Aaron, James, and Tim for the work they did behind the scenes for me, the church, and the camp. I've gotten several great comments and am looking forward to next year already.

It's only fitting that I became the camp director after leaving Owasso since it was basketball that led me to becoming a member of the church during my family's time there. As coaches we often speak of the character building aspects of athletics, but we often times overlook the social and ministry opportunities that basketball affords. I know I'm not the only person who has ever been hooked up with FCC because of the basketball league or Monday night pickup ball.

My wife often chastises me when I complain about there being too many people on pick-up nights or guys that don't know how to play. But we must all remember that just because we are gathering for basketball, doesn't mean we shouldn't miss the opportunity for fellowship, ministry, and outreach.

But is it too much to ask that the outreach come with a jumpshot or the ability to find me when I'm open on the break?!! :)
