3) This is my friend Michael from church. He is on the tech team and leads the setup team each Sunday. He is very responsible, always sends out emails, reminders and information about who is doing what tasks at church, and he is appreciative of what others do to help. Michael is always on-time, and I can count on him when I need something at church.

4) Qualities of a good team: -Every team member wants to help/be involved/do something (no one is just sitting taking up space) -All members are cooperative, respectful, polite -Members are focused, diligent and on-time when it comes to doing/completing tasks -Members are responsible and reliable, members can count on each other to get the job completed -Members take action when necessary and do not have to be continually asked to do things -Work load is evenly balanced (everyone has a job to do, one person is not stuck doing everything)

5) Being part of a team: I am currently a part of the middle school youth group leaders team at my church. I lead a group of seventh grade girls, and I help setup/run the rest of the night. The team is mostly made up of high school students from my church, and we work together very well as a team. We are all friends, and can laugh and have fun together, and we can make a difference in the lives of the middle school students we lead. As a team, we share tasks and responsibilities for running youth group. We each have our own jobs, for example I always pass out raffle tickets, Austin plans games for the whole group, and leaders take turns giving the announcements and mini lesson talk. I love being a part of this team, because I have found lifetime friends, and I can grow closer to and serve God in ministry.
