WILL THIS BE FUN?
The best way to ensure that we have fun together is to hold expectations loosely and to be flexible. We will have opportunities for downtime, which is a great time for games, rest, good conversations, and general shenanigans. Sometimes we will be working hard. The harder we work together, the more likely it is that we will enjoy the freedom to worship, relax, and just be silly.

———-
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his
love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy
complete by being like–minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do
nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above
yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
– Philippians 2:1–4 (NIV)
