Nothing beats old-fashioned, American baseball games on sunny Sundays in southern California. Or, in this case, the sport's close cousin, softball. With the exception of the grapefruit-sized baseball, all-female teams and slightly different fields, baseball and softball are very similar.
On Sunday, March 10, two small groups convened at the baseball diamond in Craig Park for a little softball showdown: The Village versus Cheers. While the grown-ups got to work on the field, the kids ran around, enjoying themselves. Under the influence of a cheerleader, the little Village children made up a cute little cheer.
The older Lifegroup led the game off with a good start, pulling ahead by a couple runs. But as more minutes passed and The Village grew tired, Cheers swooped in and finished it off. With a wipeout too large in number to be remembered, The Village life group accepted their loss with positive attitudes.
Communiity is a big part of Christianity. Sometimes it is better to experience God with others. He often works through others. A little softball game may not seem like much to you, but it could mean the world to God. He might have changed someone’s heart through the game. God works in many mysterious ways.
