As youth in the early 70s, many of us spent almost all day Sundays at church. Sunday mornings were spent at Sunday school and worship. We would go home for a couple of hours and then return to Brookhaven UMC for youth choir, dinner, UMYF, evening worship and then fellowship after worship. Often, during the summer, we used the parking lot to play volleyball.
Volleyball...I have somewhat a love/hate relationship with volleyball. My short stature and lack of athletic prowess made me a less than popular team member. I was always the last person picked to be on a team -until Dennis and I started dating - then I was next to last. Regardless, I enjoyed those times spent in fellowship. Relationships were formed that last until this very day. Some of us still see each other often; others only occasionally or only on Facebook. But our faith was formed in those days, and continue to be formed as our lives follow different paths. Those days on the volleyball court, otherwise known as the church parking lot, will forever be a part of who we are.
