Team Service Projects

In line with the Ministry of Christ United Methodist Church each team participating in a C-Sports sponsored or related sport is asked to perform at least one service project during their season. Players, coaches, and even family members may participate and are encouraged to wear their jerseys unless the nature of the project would likely damage them (painting. etc.). The coach, team mom, or designated leader is asked to complete at Team Service Projec form found in the coaches manual and turn it in to the Recreation Minister upon the completion of the project. As an opportunity for bonding and as a promotion for the program teams may want to designate a Sunday to attend church together dressed in their jerseys. Program participants who attend other churches may be invited but not pressured to attend the service as their attendance is important at their own home church as well.

Service opportunities include but are not limited to:

� Litter patrol around this or other churches, parks, beach, etc.
